These sweet bites are great barrier crossers, equally at home as an appetite builder at the beginning of a meal as a dessert. We love them served on a plain, country-style bread with white or sparkling wine as a party appetizer. Plus, they are ready in a snap. Feel free to use other fresh ripe fruit instead of the peaches; nectarines, plums, cherries, and/or apricots would all be terrific. You could also swap out a light sourdough, whole-grain bread or an earthy, rustic cranberry-nut bread.
Ingredients
Part skim ricotta cheese
½ cup(s)
Sugar
1½ tsp
Ground cinnamon
⅛ tsp
Unsalted butter
1 Tbsp, softened
Sourdough bread
4 slice(s), large, (1⁄2-inch-thick) or country-style bread, toasted
Peach
2 small, ripe, peeled and cut into 3⁄8-inch-thick wedges
Instructions
1
Put the ricotta in a food processor and process until perfectly smooth, 1 – 2 minutes. Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl; set aside.
2
To assemble the bruschetta, spread the butter on one side of each slice of the bread. Sprinkle evenly with the cinnamon sugar and top with the peaches. Dollop one-fourth of the ricotta on top of each bruschetta and serve at once. Yields 1 bruschetta per serving.
