Toasted bread, honey whipped ricotta, juicy peaches, crispy prosciutto, chopped pistachios, fresh basil, and an extra drizzle of honey come together to create the best bite!

Ingredients
- 1 ounce prosciutto
- 3/4 cup ricotta*
- 1 1/2 tablespoons honey, plus extra for drizzling
- 3 peaches, thinly sliced
- 5-7 thick slices crusty, grainy bread, toasted*
- 1/4 cup roasted, salted pistachios, chopped
- fresh basil
- flaky sea salt
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375℉. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Place prosciutto slices on the baking sheet and bake for 8 minutes, or until crispy and golden.
-
While prosciutto is baking, make the whipped ricotta. Combine ricotta, honey, and a pinch of salt in a food processor and blend until smooth and creamy. Season to taste with additional salt if desired.
-
To assemble, spread a generous amount of whipped ricotta on the toasts, followed by the sliced peaches. Crush the prosciutto into little pieces and sprinkle over the toasts along with the pistachios. Garnish with a few leaves of fresh basil and another drizzle of honey. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt, if desired. Enjoy immediately!
Recipe Notes
*Make sure you use whole milk ricotta for this, not the part skim stuff. The whole milk ricotta is so much creamier and better!
*I love using a super seedy, hearty multigrain bread for this, but anything you like will work! You can even make these into little crostini if you'd like!
