This simple bruschetta recipe features homemade lemon ricotta, fresh grilled peaches and a light drizzle of honey for a bright, summery appetizer.
If you love honey as much as I do, this bruschetta will become a favorite. It combines a creamy, homemade lemon ricotta with juicy peaches and a touch of Tupelo honey for a balance of sweet and tangy flavors.
Homemade ricotta is surprisingly easy to make and far creamier than store-bought. With just a few ingredients and minimal effort you get soft, warm ricotta that elevates simple recipes like this bruschetta. Fold in fresh lemon zest for brightness, then top with grilled or raw peach slices, a drizzle of honey, freshly cracked black pepper and toasted sliced almonds for crunch.
This recipe works beautifully for entertaining. Make the lemon ricotta a day ahead and chill it, then assemble the crostini just before serving. Alternatively, arrange components on a platter and let guests build their own bruschetta. For ease, serve the coarsely ground black pepper in a small dish so everyone can add as much as they like. It’s a delightful way to showcase ripe summer peaches.
