Ingredients
Scale
- 4 fresh peaches, firm yet ripe, preferably freestone
- 8 oz burrata cheese
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, torn
- 2 tablespoons honey (raw or wildflower)
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- Sea salt, to taste
- Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
- Optional: 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts or walnuts
- Optional: Balsamic glaze for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat your 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 slice each half into 3-4 thick wedges (about 1/2 inch thick).
- Brush both sides of each peach slice lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking and encourage caramelization.
- Arrange peach slices on the grill or grill pan. Grill for 2-3 minutes per side until grill marks appear and peaches soften slightly but remain firm.
- On a serving platter, tear fresh basil leaves and scatter evenly.
- Place grilled peach slices on top of the basil.
- Tear the burrata into chunks and distribute over the peaches and basil. Let the burrata rest at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving.
- Drizzle honey generously over the salad, then sprinkle with flaky sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste. Add a few drops of olive oil for richness.
- If using, scatter toasted pine nuts or walnuts on top or drizzle with balsamic glaze.
- Serve immediately while peaches are warm and burrata is soft.
Notes
Use thick peach slices to prevent them from falling apart on the grill. Let burrata sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving for best texture. If peaches are not ripe, marinate briefly in lemon juice and honey before grilling. Store grilled peaches and burrata separately if saving leftovers.
