A quick and elegant summer recipe featuring smoky grilled peaches paired with creamy burrata and salty prosciutto, perfect for entertaining or a simple yet impressive meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 8 ounces burrata cheese
  • 6 to 8 thin slices prosciutto
  • A small handful fresh basil leaves, torn
  • 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
  • Fresh ground black pepper, to taste
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat, about 400°F (204°C).
  2. Rinse and dry the peaches, then cut them in half and remove the pits carefully. Brush the cut sides lightly with olive oil.
  3. Place the peaches cut side down on the grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and the fruit softens slightly but still holds its shape.
  4. Flip and grill the skin side for another 2 minutes to warm through.
  5. Transfer peaches to a serving plate, cut side up. Scatter torn burrata over the warm peaches so it starts to soften and melt a bit.
  6. Lay slices of prosciutto over the peaches and burrata.
  7. Sprinkle torn fresh basil leaves over the top, drizzle with honey, and finish with a pinch of sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
  8. Serve immediately while peaches are warm and burrata is soft.

Notes

Use firm but ripe peaches to avoid mushiness. Brush olive oil lightly to prevent flare-ups and greasy fruit. Burrata should be at room temperature for best texture. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture. Can substitute burrata with fresh mozzarella or vegan cheese alternatives. For a vegetarian version, omit prosciutto and add toasted nuts.
