Nora’s Tips for the Best Pistachio & Peach Toast

Add some greens: If you’re looking to add more nutrients, top with some arugula or spinach for a fresh, leafy bite.
Try different fruits: Swap peaches for other stone fruits like nectarines or plums, or use berries for a change.
Make it vegan: Use dairy-free ricotta and a plant-based sweetener like maple syrup for a vegan version of this toast.
Spice it up: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes for a little heat that balances the sweetness of the honey and peaches.
