Fruit Toast With Grilled Ricotta Peaches Recipes

ITALIAN FRUIT TOAST

Steps:

• Brush the ciabatta slices on both sides with olive oil, then sprinkle both sides evenly with 1/4 cup of the sugar, gently rubbing it in.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Place the sugared bread in the skillet and cook until golden brown and caramelized on both sides, 2 minutes per side. Remove to a wire rack to cool briefly.
• In a medium bowl, mix together the ricotta, vanilla and the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar with a rubber spatula. Divide the mixture among the toasts and spread evenly. Top with berries, drizzle with honey and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.

WHIPPED RICOTTA TOAST WITH QUICK PEACH-RASPBERRY JAM

Steps:

• For the jam: Combine the peaches, sugar and lemon juice in a nonreactive medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat and simmer, mashing the peaches occasionally with a potato masher, until the mixture thickens and sticks to a spoon, about 20 minutes.
• Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the raspberries. Let cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally. Transfer the jam to a nonreactive container with a lid and refrigerate until ready to use. The jam will keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
• For the toast: Combine the ricotta, cream, sugar and lemon zest in a bowl and whisk until light and creamy.
• Slice the toasts on the diagonal and add a dollop of the whipped ricotta to each piece; use the back of a spoon to smear the ricotta across the toast, making a little trough and leaving a big mound on one end. Spoon some of the jam into the trough and drizzle with honey. Serve immediately.
