Healthy Recipes Appetizers Appetizer Toast Recipes Bruschetta Recipes Peach Bruschetta 5.0 (2) 2 Reviews Hot honey brings a sweet heat to this peach bruschetta. Basil gives a nod to bruschetta’s timeless flavor, while mint offers a cool and unexpected touch. Feel free to use either (or both), or experiment with other delicate herbs like tarragon or chives. Ripe but firm peaches work best for this recipe, as they are easiest to cut. By Amanda Stanfield Amanda Stanfield Amanda Stanfield is a Test Kitchen assistant in the Dotdash Meredith Food Studios.

Swapping the typical white-flour baguette for a whole-wheat one will increase the fiber content of your bruschetta. The ricotta cheese provides calcium and is considered a lower-sodium cheese. Peaches are a great source of vitamins C and A and also provide fiber and antioxidants. Besides being delicious, this is a nutrient-packed recipe. Is this recipe vegetarian-friendly? As long as you eat dairy, this is a vegetarian-friendly recipe. What should I serve with Peach Bruschetta? As an appetizer, this would go well with a charcuterie board and our Rosemary & Garlic Breadsticks. If you want to serve it as a starter for a light lunch, we’d recommend a salad or gazpacho. For dinner, we’d serve it with pasta, grilled chicken or seafood. What else can I do with hot honey? Some popular ways to enjoy versatile hot honey: Drizzle over pizza, popcorn, eggs, breakfast sandwiches, quesadillas, corn on the cob, salads and cornbread. It’s perfect for our Hot Honey Parmesan Carrots. Add it to a peanut butter sandwich, grilled cheese or burgers. Use it as a glaze for grilled meats and seafood. You can even add it to margaritas and other cocktails, as well as drizzling it over ice cream. How do you ripen peaches quickly? We suggest two ways: You can set a bowl of peaches (stem-side down) on the countertop (not in direct sunlight), and they should be ripe in about two days. One of the best ways to speed up the process is to pair the peaches with a companion fruit that emits ethylene gas, like an apple. Add the peaches and an apple to a brown paper bag, and your peaches will quickly ripen. Additional reporting by Carrie Myers, M.S. and Linda Frahm EatingWell.com, June 2024 Rate It Print
