Ingredients

4 ripe peaches, diced

1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

1 tablespoon honey (or to taste)

1 clove garlic, minced

1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for drizzling

Salt and pepper to taste

1 baguette or ciabatta loaf, sliced

4 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced

Optional: extra basil leaves for garnish

Instructions

Prepare the Peach Topping: In a mixing bowl, combine the diced peaches, chopped basil, balsamic vinegar, honey, minced garlic, and olive oil. Gently toss until well mixed. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let it sit for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Toast the Bread: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the sliced baguette or ciabatta on a baking sheet. Brush the tops lightly with olive oil. Bake for about 5-7 minutes or until golden and crispy.

Assemble the Bruschetta: Once the bread is toasted, remove it from the oven. Layer a slice of fresh mozzarella on each piece of toasted bread. Spoon the peach mixture generously on top of the mozzarella.

Finish and Serve: Drizzle a little extra olive oil over the assembled bruschetta and garnish with additional basil leaves if desired. Serve immediately as a refreshing appetizer or snack!
