Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ripe but firm fresh peaches, halved and pitted
- 8 ounces burrata cheese
- 1 small loaf baguette or ciabatta, sliced into 1/2-inch thick pieces
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- Fresh thyme or basil sprigs (optional)
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice (optional)
- Sea salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Rinse and dry peaches, cut in half and remove pits. Optionally, squeeze 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice over peach halves and brush lightly with olive oil.
- Slice baguette or ciabatta into 1/2-inch thick slices and brush both sides with olive oil.
- Preheat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Grill bread slices for 1-2 minutes per side until golden and crisp with grill marks. Remove and set aside.
- Place peach halves cut-side down on grill and cook for 3-4 minutes until charred and softened but still holding shape. Flip and grill skin side for 2 more minutes.
- Tear or slice burrata into chunks. Place a chunk on each grilled bread slice, top with a grilled peach half.
- Drizzle honey over each crostini and season with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
- Garnish with fresh thyme or basil if desired and serve immediately while warm.
Notes
Let burrata sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before assembling to enhance creaminess. Brush olive oil on bread before grilling to prevent sogginess. Use medium-high heat and grill peaches carefully to avoid mushiness. Drizzle honey generously for best flavor balance.
