Ingredients
Method
- Drizzle some oil in a skillet, and place the apricots cut-side down into the pan. Cook until tender and they have started to caramelize.
- As they cook, add some fresh rosemary to the pan for flavor. No need to chop, you'll be removing before serving.
- Meanwhile, in a separate pan, caramelize the shallots in olive oil, watching closely to ensure they do not burn. Remove from the heat and put into a bowl and set aside.
- Prepare the bread. Butter one (or both) sides of the bread and fry or place on a grill. We used a panini maker.
- Remove to a board when the bread is toasted and golden brown.
- Prepare the ricotta cheese mixture. Add a little lemon juice and lemon zest from one lemon and whip the ricotta until fairly smooth.
- Spread a nice thick layer on each toast, and add a little salt and pepper.
- Layer the caramelized apricots on each toast. Then add the caramelized shallots.
- Drizzle with a little hot honey and serve immediately.
Notes
This dish is perfect for a summer brunch or a light lunch.
