Balsamic Glaze

Add the balsamic vinegar and brown sugar to a small saucepan. Set the pan over medium-low heat, stirring often, until the balsamic comes to a gentle simmer.

Simmer the balsamic glaze, stirring often, until it coats the back of a spoon, about 8-12 minutes. Let the glaze cool completely. It will thicken as it cools.

Peach Ricotta Crostini

Spoon the whipped ricotta into a piping bag. Pipe the ricotta on top of the crostini. (You can also use a spoon to dollop the ricotta on top of the crostini instead.)

Place one peach slice on top of each toast. Drizzle the crostini with balsamic glaze and sprinkle with fresh basil. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Peak Peach Selection 🍑
Choose peaches that yield slightly to gentle pressure and have a fragrant aroma at the stem—this ensures maximum juiciness and sweetness that won't require excess sugar.
Whip Ricotta to Perfection 🥄
Beat ricotta with a hand mixer for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy, which increases volume and creates an airy texture that's far superior to spreading plain ricotta.
Caramelize Brown Sugar for Depth 🔆
Toast brown sugar in a dry skillet for 1-2 minutes before sprinkling on peaches to intensify its molasses notes and create a subtle caramelized flavor that elevates the dish.
Balsamic Reduction Timing ⏱️
Make your balsamic glaze 10-15 minutes before assembly and let it cool to room temperature—this prevents it from melting the ricotta while ensuring the perfect syrupy consistency.
Basil Bruising Technique 🌿
Gently tear basil leaves by hand rather than cutting with a knife to release essential oils and prevent browning, preserving its fresh, peppery flavor until the moment of serving.
