• 2 tablespoons honey
• for garnish fresh mint leaves

Instructions

1. Preheat your grill to medium heat.

4. In a small bowl, mix the ricotta cheese with honey until well combined and creamy.
5. To assemble, spread a generous tablespoon of the honey-ricotta mixture on each grilled baguette slice.
6. Slice the grilled peaches into thin wedges and place them atop the ricotta-covered crostini.
7. Drizzle with balsamic glaze for a touch of sweetness and acidity.
8. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a burst of color and flavor.
9. Serve immediately and enjoy!
