1-Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F, or heat a grill on high for 1 to 2 minutes to get that smoky flavor grilling enthusiasts love.

2-Slice the baguette into ½-inch thick slices for the base of your Peach Bruschetta.

3-Mash the ¼ cup butter with half of the 4 cloves minced garlic and a pinch of salt, then spread it on the bread slices for a garlicky twist.

4-Bake the slices on a sheet for 10 to 12 minutes until golden and crunchy, or if you’re grilling, toast them directly for extra smoke.

5-In a bowl, combine the 1 pint chopped tomatoes, 3 medium ripe diced peaches, the remaining minced garlic, salt and pepper to taste, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and juice from ½ freshly squeezed lemon; let the mixture sit to blend flavors.

6-Blend the 1 cup ricotta cheese in a food processor until smooth and creamy for that perfect creamy ricotta layer.

7-Spread the whipped ricotta on the toasted bread slices, stir in the big handful of fresh basil leaves into the peach and tomato mixture, and spoon it over the ricotta.

8-Optionally, drizzle with balsamic glaze and serve immediately to enjoy the fresh herbs and flavors at their peak.
