Preheat your oven to 400°F (or prepare a grill at high heat).

Slice the baguette into ½-inch pieces and mix softened butter with minced garlic. Spread the garlic butter on each baguette slice.

Place the baguette slices on a baking sheet and toast in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

Chop the ripe peaches and fresh tomatoes, then combine in a bowl. Add minced garlic, a drizzle of olive oil, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.

In a food processor, blend the ricotta cheese until smooth and creamy. Optionally drizzle in more olive oil for a silkier texture.

Spread a layer of the whipped ricotta on each toasted baguette slice, then top with the peach and tomato mixture.

Serve immediately, optionally drizzled with balsamic glaze.
