Open-Faced Sandwiches
 
Makes 6
Ingredients
  • 1 (16-ounce) container ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup white balsamic vinegar
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 3 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
  • 6 slices rustic sourdough bread
  • 3 peaches, halved
  • ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
  • Garnish: fresh thyme leaves
Instructions
  1. In a colander lined with paper towels and set over a bowl, place ricotta. Refrigerate overnight.
  2. In a small saucepan, cook vinegar over medium heat until it reduces to ⅓ cup, about 15 minutes. Let cool completely.
  3. Whisk together vinegar reduction, olive oil, honey, and 2 teaspoons salt. Brush mixture over bread slices and peach halves.
  4. Heat a grill skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add bread slices to pan, and grill 1 to 3 minutes; remove from pan. Place peaches, cut-sides down, in pan; grill 1 to 2 minutes.
  5. Combine ricotta, remaining 1 teaspoon salt, Parmesan, and thyme. Spread mixture onto grilled bread. Top with peaches, and drizzle to taste with balsamic mixture. Garnish with thyme leaves, if desired. Serve immediately.
