Ingredients
Scale
- Fresh peaches, ripe but firm, thinly sliced
- 1 ball burrata cheese (about 8 ounces / 225 grams), drained and torn into chunks
- Baguette or rustic Italian bread, sliced about ½ inch thick
- Fresh basil leaves, a handful, torn or thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons honey (raw or wildflower preferred)
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- Sea salt flakes, a pinch
- Freshly ground black pepper, a few twists (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F or heat a grill pan over medium heat.
- Slice the baguette into ½-inch thick slices and slice fresh peaches thinly (about 1/8 inch thick).
- Lightly brush each bread slice with extra virgin olive oil on both sides.
- Arrange bread slices on a baking sheet or grill pan and toast until crispy and golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Tear the burrata into bite-sized chunks, allowing the creamy center to ooze slightly.
- On each toasted bread slice, layer a few peach slices, then add chunks of burrata on top.
- Scatter torn fresh basil leaves over the cheese and peaches.
- Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt flakes and a few twists of freshly ground black pepper.
- Drizzle raw honey generously over each bruschetta piece.
- Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
Notes
For best results, assemble bruschetta just before serving to keep bread crisp. Optionally rub toasted bread with a cut garlic clove for subtle aroma. Use day-old bread for crispier toast. Burrata is delicate—tear gently by hand. Adjust honey amount to taste to avoid overpowering creaminess.
