Instructions

Step 1

Start by heating your grill to medium-high and give the grates a light brush of oil so nothing sticks. Pour a teaspoon of olive oil onto a small plate, then toss the nectarine wedges in it to coat them evenly. Brush both sides of your bread slices with olive oil as well.

Step 2

Place the nectarines on the hot grill and cook them for about 1 to 2 minutes on each side until they have nice grill marks. Once done, set them aside to cool a bit, then slice each wedge in half lengthwise so you end up with smaller pieces.

Step 3

Next, grill the bread slices for about a minute on each side until they’re toasted and have those lovely grill lines. Remove the bread from the grill and spread a generous layer of ricotta cheese over each slice.

Step 4

Top the ricotta with the grilled nectarines, sprinkle with almonds and fresh mint, then finish everything off with a drizzle of honey. Cut the toast in half if you like and enjoy!

Serving Suggestions

Serve with a sprinkle of fresh herbs like mint or basil for added brightness. A side of mixed greens or a handful of nuts can complement the toast nicely. For extra flavor, add a pinch of sea salt or a dash of cinnamon on top.

Storage Tips

If you have leftovers, store the grilled nectarines separately in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. Keep the ricotta spread and toast separate to maintain their texture. Reheat the nectarines gently before serving.
