Creating Quick Peach Bruschetta with Whipped Ricotta is a breeze. Follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Bread: If desired, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick pieces. Arrange on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil.
2. Toast the Bread: Bake the bread in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Alternatively, you can grill the slices for added flavor.
3. Whip the Ricotta: In a bowl, combine the ricotta cheese and honey (if using). Mix until smooth and creamy. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
4. Assemble the Bruschetta: Spread a generous layer of whipped ricotta on each toasted bread slice. Top with diced peaches.
5. Garnish: Add fresh basil leaves on top of the peaches. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic glaze, if desired, for extra flavor.
6. Serve Immediately: Arrange the bruschetta on a serving platter and enjoy right away while the bread is still warm.
