Peach Crostini with Whipped Feta and Honey Balsamic
- 1/2 Baguette, Sliced To 1-inch Thick Rounds
- 2 Ripe Peaches, Pitted And Halved
- 1/2 cups Balsamic Vinegar
- 2 Tablespoons Honey
- 2 Tablespoons Part-skim Ricotta Cheese
- 1/2 cups Feta Cheese Crumbles
- 2 cups Baby Arugula
- 3 Tablespoons Basil, Chopped
- Preheat your oven to broil.
- Place the slices of baguette on a baking sheet and toast under the broiler until golden, about 3 minutes.
- When done remove from oven and set aside.
- Prepare the grill for medium heat.
- Place the peach halves on the hot grill and cook until lightly softened, about 4-5 minutes.
- Flip and grill the other side, about 4-5 minutes more.
- Peaches should have light golden grill marks, but should not be blackened or charred.
- Remove them to a platter.
- Allow the peaches to cool, and then thinly slice them (grilling the peaches is optionalthey may also be used raw).
- Into a small saucepan, add the balsamic vinegar and honey.
- Heat over medium heat, stirring often with a wooden spoon, allowing the mixture to simmer.
- After about 6-9 minutes, the balsamic vinegar mixture should become thick, like a syrup, and reduced by about half.
- Turn off the heat and pour the sauce into a bowl to allow it to cool.
- Meanwhile, puree the ricotta and feta in a blender or food processor until a thick, smooth mixture is formed.
- Spread the whipped feta over each toasted slice of baguette.
- Add baby arugula and sliced peaches.
- Drizzle on the balsamic honey reduction, then top with freshly chopped basil, and serve.
