PEACH, PROSCIUTTO & RICOTTA CROSTINI

Steps:

• Grill bread slices.

PEACH AND RICOTTA FRUIT BREAD

Steps:

• Drain the peach slices and reserve 1/4 cup (60ml) of the juice.
• Put the cornflour in a small bowl and stir in enough of the reserved peach juice to make a smooth paste and then stir in the remaining peach juice and pour into a small saucepan and add the vanilla bean paste (or essence) and half the cinnamon and cook, stirring over a medium heat until the mixture comes to a simmer and thickens.
• Continue cooking and stirring for 1 minutes and then add the peach slices and cook stirring occasionally for 1 to 2 minutes or until warmed through.
• Spread the toast with the ricotta and top each with peach slices and divide between 2 serving plates and drizzle the peach syrup over and sprinkle with the remaining cinnamon to serve.

RICOTTA PEACH TART

Steps:

• Put an oven rack in the lower third of the oven. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Place the puff pastry between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out a bit to make a 9-by-10-inch rectangle. Remove the top piece of paper. Use the tip of a sharp knife to gently score the dough, without cutting all the way through, 1 inch from the edges all the way around. Transfer to a sheet pan and store in the freezer while you prepare the peaches.
• Cut the peaches into 1-inch wedges. Toss them with 1 tablespoon honey. Remove the dough from the freezer, sprinkle on the thyme, and arrange the peaches in a single layer on top, leaving the border clear.
• Bake the tart until the crust is deep golden-brown and the peaches are tender, about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven to a cooling rack and cool slightly before serving. Cut into squares, top each with a dollop of ricotta, and drizzle some honey over the cheese.
