Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure a perfectly toasted baguette base.
Slice your fresh baguette into ½-inch thick slices. Mash garlic with softened butter to create a creamy garlic butter.
Spread the garlic butter over each baguette slice. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
Prepare the topping by dicing the ripe peaches and tomatoes in a mixing bowl. Add remaining garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
In a bowl, blend well-drained ricotta cheese until it reaches a smooth, creamy consistency.
Spread a layer of whipped ricotta on each toasted baguette slice.
Top each ricotta-spread baguette slice with the peach and tomato mixture, and drizzle with balsamic glaze if desired.
Serve immediately to enjoy crispy bread and creamy toppings.
