• 2 oz (55 g) brie cheese, sliced

Ingredient Notes

Brie

Creamy brie melts beautifully and pairs perfectly with sweet peaches and salty prosciutto.

Peaches

Use ripe but firm peaches that will soften without becoming mushy.

Prosciutto

Adds a savoury, salty contrast that balances the sweetness of the peaches.

Sourdough

A sturdy slice of sourdough provides the perfect crispy base for all the toppings.

How to Make Peach, Prosciutto & Brie Toast

• Heat a small skillet over medium heat and melt the butter.
• Add the sliced peaches and brown sugar.
• Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peaches are softened and caramelized.
• Toast the sourdough until golden brown and crisp.
• Top the warm toast with slices of brie cheese.
• Place under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, or until the brie is melted and bubbly.
• Spoon the caramelized peaches over the melted brie.
• Layer the prosciutto on top, tearing it into smaller pieces if desired.
• Garnish with fresh thyme leaves and freshly cracked black pepper.
• Drizzle with hot honey, if using.
• Serve immediately and enjoy.

Tips for Success

• Don’t overcook the peaches; they should be soft but still hold their shape.
• Keep a close eye on the toast under the broiler as brie melts quickly.
• Use room-temperature brie for the best melting results.
• Finish with flaky sea salt for extra flavour.

Variations

Add Arugula

Top with a handful of fresh arugula for a peppery finish.

Swap the Fruit

Try nectarines, plums, or pears when peaches aren’t in season.

Make it Extra Indulgent

Add a drizzle of balsamic glaze along with the hot honey.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this ahead of time?

This toast is best served immediately after assembling for the best texture.

What bread works best?

Sourdough is ideal, but ciabatta, country loaf, or a thick-cut artisan bread also work well.

Can I use a different cheese?

Absolutely. Burrata, whipped ricotta, goat cheese, or camembert are all delicious alternatives.
