Print Recipe

Crispy toasted baguette slices topped with creamy ricotta, juicy peaches, cherry tomatoes, and fresh basil, finished with a tangy drizzle of balsamic glaze. A colorful and refreshing summer appetizer that’s as elegant as it is easy.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 French baguette, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 ripe peach, diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved or quartered
  • 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Balsamic glaze, for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange baguette slices on a baking sheet and brush lightly with olive oil. Toast for 7–8 minutes or until golden and crisp.
  2. In a small bowl, combine diced peaches, cherry tomatoes, chopped basil, salt, and pepper. Gently toss to combine.
  3. Spread about 1 tablespoon of ricotta cheese over each toasted baguette slice.
  4. Top with a generous spoonful of the peach-tomato mixture.
  5. Drizzle each crostini with balsamic glaze just before serving.

Notes

  • Use whipped ricotta for an extra smooth texture.
  • Substitute nectarines or plums if peaches are out of season.
  • Serve immediately to maintain crostini crispness.
