How to Make Grilled Peach Ricotta Toast

  4. Toast the Bread: On the same grill, toast the slices of bread until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  5. Make the Ricotta Spread: In a small bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, honey, and vanilla extract (if using). Mix until smooth and creamy. Adjust sweetness to taste.
  6. Assemble the Toast: Spread a generous layer of the ricotta mixture onto each slice of toasted bread. Top with the grilled peach halves, cut side up.
  7. Drizzle and Garnish: Drizzle with additional honey and garnish with fresh mint leaves. Add a pinch of salt if desired.
