I don’t bother peeling the peaches but if you’d prefer, I have a post on how to efficiently peel peaches here. Peach Bruschetta is perfect for a hot summer’s day washed down with a glass of your favorite cold white wine or bubbles. I grill the baguette slices on a grill pan or add them to an air fryer to lightly toast, making sure to brush with a little olive oil first. I top the bread sliced with a little fresh mozzarella to stop the bread from becoming soggy. I really love this simple appy, I hope you do too. If you make it, please let me know. Toodles, L xo
