Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 red plums or nectarines, halved, pitted, thinly sliced
1 cup cherries, pitted, halved
2 tablespoons sugar, divided
1 tablespoon olive oil plus more for drizzling
Flaky sea salt (such as Maldon)
1/4 vanilla bean, split lengthwise, or 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup whole-milk ricotta
1/2 baguette, sliced 1/2" thick, toasted

Steps:

  • Combine plums, cherries, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 tablespoon oil, and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl. Scrape in seeds from vanilla bean (reserve pod for another use) or add vanilla extract; toss to combine. Let macerate just until fruit begins to release juices, 10-15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, whisk ricotta and remaining 1 tablespoon sugar in a medium bowl until smooth.
  • Drizzle toast with oil, spread with ricotta mixture, and top with fruit. Drizzle with more oil, if desired, and juices from bowl. Sprinkle with salt.

I love the combination of flavors in this recipe. The cherries and plums are sweet and juicy, the goat cheese is tangy and creamy, and the balsamic vinegar adds a nice acidity.

I'm not a huge fan of goat cheese, but it worked really well in this recipe. The tanginess of the cheese balanced out the sweetness of the fruit perfectly.

This bruschetta is the perfect way to use up leftover fruit. I had some cherries and plums that were about to go bad, and this recipe was a great way to use them up.
