It’s peach season over here! (I know, it comes early here in Texas). But when it’s peach season I have just one objective: Eat as many peaches as possible until it’s not peach season anymore.
On Saturday, I came home from the farmers market with these beautiful heirloom cherry tomatoes, sweet peaches, and my favorite nine grain (Easy Tiger) bread. I truly believe summer food should be simple, so I made this easy bruschetta for dinner along with a huge salad. It was perfect for a hot summer evening along with ice cold white wine.
I used creamy avocado this time instead of any sort of cheese, but it would also be nice with a little burrata or even a slather of goat cheese.

After discovering and making this recipe for the first time back on September 15 2017, I scribbled down my husband’s and my reaction. “Borderline excellent!” Was just last night reorganizing my recipes based on the seasons of the year. When I came across this one with it’s scribbled remark, thought I’d give it another go (since it is now peach season in Jersey after all – and now my mom is living with us too…). When my husband saw the bowl, he thought the whole thing was for him. Disappointed that he found he would have to share with us. Mom’s take: “This is FABULOUS!” I’m just a little frustrated because among the three of us, it’s all gone. It only lasted a few minutes. Next time I’ll have to double the batch! Thank you for this AWESOME recipe Love and Lemons 🙂
Ha ha ha, well I’m so glad you all enjoyed it so much!! Thank you for coming back to let me know, it totally makes my day 🙂
I love this recipe. I’ve used it as a base for sooo many other bruschetta combos depending on what’s in season. Another thing I do is sometimes I mash up the avocado and use it as a spread, then layer the other fruit on top. This way everything sticks to the avocado and you don’t have any fallen soldiers.
Hi Margarita, I’m so glad!
summer bliss on a crostini!
My partner and I stumbled over here by a different page and
thought I should check things out. I like what I see so now i amm
following you. Look forward to looking into your web page again.
Tomatoes, peaches and avocados … I love the growing season for all the fresh fruits and vegetables available to experiment with. The picture for this bruschetta literally jumped off the screen at me and as I’ve never combined peaches and avocados before (2 of my favorites), I’m off to try this.
This is why I love summer food..you can just combine a bunch of fresh summer ingredients and it turns out great!
that’s why I love it too 🙂
This looks amazing. Huge fan of your blog. I can’t wait to get to the farmer’s market this week to make this bruschetta… I think I may eat it out by the pool. 🙂 Also, are you planning to post any recipes for the 4th of July?
thanks! I have a few more before July 4th, here’s a roundup of some summer favorites from last year: http://www.loveandlemons.com/2013/06/30/red-white-blue-green/
So fresh and delish! Yum
Ohhhh, that sounds truly magnificent. Might be salivating, hehe~
This is perfect for white wine – good call 🙂
Heirloom tomatoes are my JAM, I absolutely love them so this looks amazing! Love it with the peaches as well…so fresh and perfect for summer!
You can’t go wrong with this combo, can you?! Enjoy TX peach season, dear!
I’m in a crostini phase, that’s all I want to eat lately. This looks so light and fresh. I’m adding the tomato-peach combo to my list of toppings to try!
It’s definitely the season for bruschetta. I just made some the other day. I can’t get my hands on any heirloom tomatoes where I live which is a BUMMER. But to pair them with peaches!? You’re brilliant. Lovely photos, as always!
helloooo summer. these flavors are the epitome of summer.
totally making this!
