Cherry and Plum Bruschetta

Ingredients for Cherry and Plum Bruschetta

• 2 red plums or nectarines, halved, pitted, thinly sliced

• 200g 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 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

• 240ml whole-milk ricotta

• 1/2 baguette, sliced 1/2" thick, toasted

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.
