Print Recipe

These grilled peach and burrata skewers are the perfect end-of-summer appetizer. Warm, caramelized peaches paired with cold, creamy burrata and a drizzle of balsamic glaze create an irresistible flavor combination that disappears fast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe but firm peaches
  • 8 ounces fresh burrata cheese
  • 2 tablespoons high-quality balsamic glaze
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Flaky sea salt (e.g., Maldon)
  • 8–10 fresh basil leaves
  • Wooden or metal skewers (if wooden, soak 30 minutes)

Instructions

  1. Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes if using.
  2. Wash and dry peaches. Cut each peach in half along the seam, twist to separate, and remove the pit. Cut each half into 3-4 wedges, about 1-inch thick.
  3. Thread 3-4 peach wedges onto each skewer, leaving space between pieces. You should get about 8 skewers.
  4. Brush both sides of peach wedges lightly with olive oil and season with a pinch of flaky sea salt.
  5. Preheat grill to medium-high (400-450°F / 200-230°C).
  6. Place skewers on grill grates. Cook 2-3 minutes per side, undisturbed, until distinct grill marks appear and peaches are slightly softened.
  7. Transfer skewers to a serving platter and let cool 1-2 minutes.
  8. Tear or cut burrata into 1-inch chunks. Place a piece on each skewer, nestled between peach wedges.
  9. Drizzle balsamic glaze over skewers. Sprinkle with additional flaky sea salt and top each with a fresh basil leaf.
  10. Serve immediately, within 5-10 minutes of grilling.

Notes

Use firm peaches to prevent mushiness. Do not move skewers while grilling to ensure good char marks. Keep burrata cold until assembly. Balsamic glaze can be store-bought or homemade by reducing balsamic vinegar. For a savory twist, wrap prosciutto around peach wedges before skewering. For a spicy version, drizzle with honey mixed with red pepper flakes. Leftover grilled peaches can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days and used in salads or yogurt.
