Ingredients

• 1 (15-oz) container ricotta cheese
• 2 tablespoons fresh basil, torn
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream

• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 4 slices of prosciutto, chopped

• The herbed ricotta
• 2 ripe peaches, pitted and thinly sliced
• Balsamic glaze for drizzling

Method

• Place the ricotta in a food processor and run the machine for a minute, occasionally stopping to scrape down the sides until it is fluffy and completely smooth. Add in the heavy cream and rerun the machine until incorporated. Add the herbs and a pinch of salt and pepper and process again to incorporate.
• Use immediately or place in an airtight container in the fridge until you are ready to use. Allow to sit at room temperature for a bit before using. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Add the chopped prosciutto and cook, stirring frequently, until it is crispy and rendered. Remove from the pan and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
• Grill or toast your bread. Spread the herbed ricotta generously on the crostini and top with the sliced peaches, crispy prosciutto, a drizzle of olive oil, balsamic glaze, a sprinkle of salt and pepper, and additional fresh herbs. Serve immediately.
