Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 French baguette sliced into ½-inch thick pieces
- 1 cup ricotta cheese whole milk ricotta works best for creaminess
- 2 ripe peaches diced, choose peaches that are fragrant and slightly soft
- 2 tablespoons honey for natural sweetness
- 1 tablespoon olive oil extra virgin for best flavor
- to taste salt just a pinch to enhance flavors
- fresh basil leaves for garnish, adds a lovely herbal aroma and color
Instructions
- Slice the French baguette into ½-inch thick pieces. Brush each slice lightly with olive oil on both sides.
- Place the oiled baguette slices in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Set to 375°F (190°C) and cook for 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden and crispy. Remove and let cool slightly.
- In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese with a pinch of salt. Gently fold in the diced peaches and drizzle with honey. Mix just enough to combine without breaking down the peaches.
- Spoon a generous amount of the peach-ricotta mixture onto each toasted baguette slice.
- Top each bruschetta with a fresh basil leaf. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

- Don’t skip brushing the baguette slices with olive oil to achieve a perfect golden crisp.
- Try adding freshly ground black pepper or cinnamon to the peach-ricotta mixture for extra flavor.
- Store leftover peach-ricotta mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Re-toast slightly stale baguette slices in the air fryer briefly before serving to refresh their crispiness.
