The combination of creamy ricotta, sweet fruit, rich olive oil, and a little salt is addictive. We'll be serving this for breakfast, brunch, and dessert all summer. Ingredients:
2 red plums or nectarines, halved, pitted, thinly sliced |
1 cup cherries, pitted, halved |
2 tablespoons sugar, divided |
1 tablespoon olive oil plus more for drizzling |
flaky sea salt (such as maldon) |
1/4 vanilla bean, split lengthwise, or 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract |
1 cup whole-milk ricotta |
1/2 baguette, sliced 1/2 thick, toasted |
Directions:
1. Combine plums, cherries, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 tablespoon oil, and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl. Scrape in seeds from vanilla bean (reserve pod for another use) or add vanilla extract; toss to combine. Let macerate just until fruit begins to release juices, 10-15 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, whisk ricotta and remaining 1 tablespoon sugar in a medium bowl until smooth.
3. Drizzle toast with oil, spread with ricotta mixture, and top with fruit. Drizzle with more oil, if desired, and juices from bowl. Sprinkle with salt.
