Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large ripe but firm fresh peaches
- 1 ball (about 8 ounces) burrata cheese
- A handful of fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
- Sea salt, to taste
- Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
- Optional: 1 cup fresh arugula or baby spinach
Instructions
- Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F / 200°C).
- Rinse and pat dry the peaches. Slice each peach in half, remove the pit, then cut each half into 3-4 wedges.
- Toss the peach wedges gently in a small bowl with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to coat evenly.
- Place peach wedges cut-side down on the grill. Grill for 3-4 minutes per side until grill marks appear and peaches soften but do not become mushy. Flip gently using tongs or a spatula.
- While peaches grill, tear or slice the burrata into bite-sized pieces. Rinse and pat dry fresh basil leaves.
- On a serving platter, arrange grilled peaches artfully. Scatter burrata pieces over the top, then sprinkle fresh basil leaves. Add arugula or baby spinach underneath if using.
- Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and balsamic glaze evenly over the salad. Season with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately while peaches are warm and burrata is cool and creamy.
Notes
Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid mushiness on the grill. Pat peaches dry if extra juicy to prevent flare-ups. Add fresh basil just before serving to keep it vibrant. Burrata should be served cold and added last to maintain creamy texture. If balsamic glaze is unavailable, reduce balsamic vinegar over medium heat until syrupy.
