PEACHES WITH RICOTTA + MINT ON SOURDOUGH WITH HONEY // A MONTH OF TOAST

DSC_2422-2

This is hardly a recipe; it’s more of a jumping off point.  Combining almost any sweet/high acid fruit with ricotta will yield excellent results, but using mint as an herb rather than a garnish might be a harder sell.  But try it!  Mint has such a lovely earthy flavor, along with that bright menthol kick, that it pairs really well with sweet flavors and creamy textures. I love it here with ripe peaches.
