Grilled Honey-Nectarine Ricotta Toast

Cinco de Mayo - BBQ and Grilling

This sweet and creamy ricotta toast makes the perfect brunch or mid-day snack. Grilling the fruit adds a lovely caramelized flavor, topped with the sweetness from the honey, crunch from the almonds and brightness from the hint of fresh mint. Use a thick-cut crusty bread like sourdough so it can stand up to the toppings.

1 large nectarine

2 thick slices crusty bread

2 tablespoons olive oil

¼ cup whole-milk ricotta cheese

1 tablespoon crushed sliced almonds

2 leaves fresh mint

BBQ and Grilling

Directions

Step 1

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil grate.

Step 2

Drizzle 1 teaspoon olive oil onto a small plate. Place nectarine wedges on the plate and cover all sides with oil. Brush both sides of bread with 2 tablespoons olive oil.

Step 3

Place nectarines onto the hot grate and grill 1 to 2 minutes per side; remove to a plate. When nectarine wedges have cooled slightly cut each wedge in 1/2 lengthwise so you now have 16 pieces.

Step 4

Place bread slices onto the hot grate and cook until grill marks appear and bread is toasted about 1 minute per side; remove to a plate.

Step 5

Spread ricotta cheese onto each slice of toast. Arrange 8 nectarine slices onto each toast and top with almonds. Sprinkle with mint and drizzle with honey. Cut each toast in half and serve.
