This Juicy Peach Bruschetta with Lemon Ricotta is a fresh twist on a classic—sweet peaches take the place of tomatoes in this surprisingly different (and ridiculously refreshing) dish.
Serve it as a summer side with grilled pork, chicken, or salmon—or spoon it onto crisps for an effortless appetizer that’s begging for a glass of chilled white wine or bubbly.
Whether you slice or dice, it’s decadent, delicious, and done in seconds. A nourishing little luxury you’ll want to make on repeat.
Happy Cooking!

Ingredients
- ½ C ricotta or cottage cheese, any style but nonfat
- 1 tsp lemon peel
- 1 tsp honey, agave, or a few drops of liquid stevia
- ¼ tsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 whole peach
- 5-7 pieces fresh basil
- 1 T Stacey Hawkins Balsamic Mosto Cotto
- Pinch Stacey Hawkins Tangy Lemon Salt
- Toasted baguette slices if desired
Directions
Slice the peach in half and remove the pit. Place halves cut side down on a plate and microwave on high for 1-2 minutes until soft.
Cut the peach into thin slices or dice depending on which dish you prefer.
Add cheese, lemon peel, lemon juice, and sweetener to a food processor. Whip together until light and creamy.
Side Dish
If making as a side dish, place a dollop of cheese in the center of the plate and drag the spoon through it to make a smear.
Place a spoonful of diced peaches on the smear, drizzle with Balsamic Mosto Cotto and a pinch of Tangy Lemon Salt. Garnish with basil leaves- torn or cut up into small pieces. Serve immediately or chill and serve later.
Appetizer
Place a small dollop of cheese on the toasted baguette. Top with sliced peaches, a pinch of Tangy Lemon Salt, and drizzle with Balsamic Mosto Cotto. Garnish with basil leaves- torn or cut into small pieces. Serve immediately or chill and serve later.
