Print Recipe

A quick and easy summer dessert featuring caramelized roasted peaches drizzled with a tangy balsamic glaze and topped with soft, creamy burrata cheese. This light yet indulgent dish is perfect for warm evenings or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (optional)
  • 8 ounces burrata cheese
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Light sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Wash, halve, and pit the peaches. If the peaches are large, you can quarter them for easier serving. Arrange them cut-side up on the baking sheet.
  3. Drizzle the peaches with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sprinkle the fresh thyme leaves evenly over the peaches, and add a pinch of sea salt.
  4. Roast the peaches in the preheated oven for about 15-18 minutes until edges caramelize and fruit softens but is not mushy.
  5. While the peaches roast, make the balsamic glaze: In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar and 2 tablespoons honey. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently.
  6. Reduce the mixture until it thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  7. Remove peaches from the oven and immediately drizzle with the balsamic glaze. Let them rest for 5 minutes to soak up the flavors.
  8. Arrange the warm roasted peach halves on a serving platter. Tear or spoon dollops of creamy burrata over and around the fruit.
  9. Finish with a light sprinkle of black pepper (if using) and a few extra thyme leaves for garnish. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use ripe but firm peaches for best texture. Watch the balsamic glaze carefully to avoid burning. Serve peaches warm with cool burrata for the best contrast. Optional additions include fresh basil, toasted nuts, or a drizzle of olive oil. For vegan versions, substitute burrata with dairy-free alternatives and honey with maple syrup.
