Grilled Honey-Nectarine Ricotta Toast

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.

Ingredients

Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.

Original recipe (1X) yields 2 servings

1 teaspoon olive oil
1 large nectarine, pitted and cut into 8 wedges
2 thick slices crusty bread
2 tablespoons olive oil
¼ cup whole-milk ricotta cheese
1 tablespoon crushed sliced almonds
2 leaves fresh mint, minced
2 teaspoons honey, or to taste

Directions

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

Cook's Notes:

Depending on the spacing of your grill grates, you may wish to use a grill topper or pan.

You can use peaches instead of nectarines.

This can also be made in a cast iron grill pan on the stove if you don't have an outdoor grill.

These turkey meatballs in maple-bourbon mustard sauce are juicy, moist, and made with simple ingredients. Serve as an appetizer or main course with a side of rice or noodles.

Chef John's Chocolate Croissants

Making your own chocolate croissants takes a while, but for these crispy-on-the-outside, tender-on-the-inside pastries, it's time well spent. This recipe was adapted from one by Bruno Albouze, from The Real Deal (which he is). This is actually the quick version in that we're not leaving the dough to rest overnight before laminating with the butter.

Lisa's Adobo

I grew up around Philippine families, and learned how to make adobo. I've since 'Americanized' the recipe, and customized it to suit my family's tastes. It's a meltingly tender, sharp-flavored stew that can be made with pork or chicken. Best served over rice. (For a thicker sauce, be sure to blend flour with liquid before adding to sauce to prevent lumps from forming.)

Homemade Sushi

Sushi rolls can be filled with any ingredients you choose. Try smoked salmon instead of imitation crabmeat. Serve with teriyaki sauce and wasabi.

The Original Kielbasa and Sauerkraut

This is a family recipe passed down from my grandfather and my father who still make every New Year's Day. It's the best. Trust me, you'll love this recipe. It's original and kinda simple. It's 'old school.' Serve with Jewish rye bread, butter, and horseradish. A good side is mashed potatoes with cheese, milk, and butter to create a rich, creamy, tasty mashed potatoes to go with the dish.
