Toasts are a versatile and delicious option for appetizers or light meals. In this recipe, we combine the sweetness of peach with the saltiness of ham to create a perfect balance of flavors. We'll add a gourmet touch by using Spherika Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) spheres , which will provide additional richness and an innovative presentation. This combination will make your toasts a hit at any gathering.

Preparation

1. Prepare the Bread
• Cut the loaf of bread into slices about 1 cm thick.
• Toast the slices in the oven at 180°C for about 5-7 minutes or until golden and crispy. You can also toast them in a frying pan.
2. Preparing the Peaches
• If using fresh peaches, peel and slice the peaches thinly.
• If you use peaches in syrup, be sure to drain them well before slicing.
3. Assemble the Toasts
• Spread a thin layer of goat cheese on each slice of toast.
• Place 2-3 peach slices on top of the goat cheese.

Benefits of EVOO Spheres

EVOO spheres not only provide a rich and distinguished flavour, but also add a unique visual and textural element to dishes. These spheres encapsulate extra virgin olive oil in a soft membrane that bursts in the mouth, releasing its intense flavour in a unique way. They are ideal for toasts, salads and gourmet dishes, offering an innovative and sophisticated touch.

Tips for a Perfect Presentation

1. Color Balance
   Peach and ham toasts are visually appealing thanks to the vibrant color combination of the peach, ham, and EVOO spheres. Make sure to distribute the ingredients evenly so that each slice is visually pleasing.
2. Distribution of the Spheres
   Place the EVOO spheres just before serving to maintain their integrity. Spread them evenly over the toast so that each bite contains an explosion of flavor.
3. Accompaniments
   Serve the toasts with a simple green salad to complement the flavors and add a touch of freshness to the dish.
