A little pleasure, without a big project
You do not need a special occasion to make something lovely. A slice of good toast, a ripe piece of fruit, and a quiet seat at the table can be enough. This easy peach-and-ricotta toast is a flexible idea for one serving, not a recipe that requires perfect measurements.
What you will need
Gather one thick slice of bread, about ¼ cup of ricotta, half a ripe peach, and a small drizzle of honey. A pinch of cinnamon or a few mint leaves are optional. Choose ingredients that suit your dietary needs; bread and ricotta commonly contain wheat and milk allergens. Do not serve honey to children under one year old.
Put it together
Toast the bread until it is golden. Wash the peach and slice it thinly, removing the pit. Spread the ricotta over the toast, arrange the peach slices, and add a little honey. Finish with cinnamon or mint if you like. Enjoy promptly, and keep perishable ingredients refrigerated according to their package guidance.
Make it your own
Try pear when peaches are out of season, or use a spread that works for you. Skip the honey if the fruit is sweet enough. The best version is the one you can make with what is available and enjoy without fuss.
Make a moment of it
Put the toast on a plate, pour something you enjoy, and take a few minutes away from your screen if you can. Simple pleasures do not need to be impressive to be worth noticing.
