This sweet and creamy ricotta toast makes the perfect brunch or mid-day snack. Grilling the fruit adds a lovely caramelized flavor, topped with the sweetness from the honey, crunch from the almonds and brightness from the hint of fresh mint. Use a thick-cut crusty bread like sourdough so it can stand up to the toppings.Ingredients | Vegetarian Food Near Me Open Now
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 large nectarine, pitted and cut into 8 wedges
2 thick slices crusty bread
2 tablespoons olive oil
¼ cup whole-milk ricotta cheese
1 tablespoon crushed sliced almonds
2 leaves fresh mint, minced
2 teaspoons honey, or to taste
Directions
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil grate.
Drizzle 1 teaspoon olive oil onto a small plate. Place nectarine wedges on the plate and cover all sides with oil. Brush both sides of bread with 2 tablespoons olive oil.
Place nectarines onto the hot grate and grill 1 to 2 minutes per side; remove to a plate. When nectarine wedges have cooled slightly, cut each wedge in 1/2 lengthwise so you now have 16 pieces.
Place bread slices onto the hot grate and cook until grill marks appear and bread is toasted, about 1 minute per side; remove to a plate.
Spread ricotta cheese onto each slice of toast. Arrange 8 nectarine slices onto each toast and top with almonds. Sprinkle with mint and drizzle with honey. Cut each toast in half and serve.
Depending on the spacing of your grill grates, you may wish to use a grill topper or pan.
You can use peaches instead of nectarines.
This can also be made in a cast iron grill pan on the stove if you don't have an outdoor grill.
