This peach ricotta toast is the easiest summer brunch recipe, made with creamy whipped ricotta, juicy fresh peaches, honey, basil, toasted walnuts, and crisp sourdough.

Peach ricotta toast made with homemade sourdough, whipped honey ricotta, fresh peaches, basil, toasted walnuts, and honey on a white plate.

This peach ricotta toast is one of those “no recipe” recipes I make every summer. When peaches are perfectly ripe, they don’t need much—just creamy whipped ricotta, a drizzle of honey, fresh basil, and toasted walnuts on really good sourdough.

It’s simple enough for breakfast, beautiful enough for brunch, and one of my favorite ways to celebrate peach season.

The secret isn’t complicated—it’s using the best ingredients you can find. Homemade sourdough, whole milk ricotta, perfectly ripe peaches, fresh basil, and good honey make all the difference.

If you’re dairy-free, you can totally use almond-based ricotta – here’s my vegan ricotta recipe. 

One note: this is best assembled right before serving. The juicy peaches and ricotta will soften the toast if it sits too long.
