Print Recipe

Warm, caramelized grilled peaches meet cold, creamy burrata on crunchy grilled bread, finished with honey, basil, and a touch of flaky salt. This 15-minute appetizer is the perfect taste of summer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 1 large baguette, sliced into 1/2-inch thick rounds
  • 8 ounces (225g) fresh burrata cheese, at room temperature
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced or torn
  • 2 tablespoons high-quality honey
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
  • Balsamic glaze (optional, for drizzling)
  • 1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt (such as Maldon)
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C).
  2. Cut peaches in half and remove pits. Brush cut sides lightly with about 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  3. Slice baguette into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Brush both sides lightly with about 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  4. Place peach halves cut-side down on the hot grill. Cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes until grill marks form. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes on the skin side. They should be tender but still hold their shape.
  5. While peaches are grilling, add baguette slices to the grill. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown with char marks.
  6. Transfer grilled bread to a serving platter. Let peaches cool for a minute, then slice each half into 3-4 wedges. Place a few wedges on each bread slice.
  7. Tear or cut burrata into pieces and distribute evenly over the peach-topped crostini.
  8. Drizzle honey over everything (about 1/2 teaspoon per crostini). Sprinkle with fresh basil, flaky sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper. If using, drizzle with balsamic glaze.
  9. Serve immediately while the bread is warm and the burrata is cold and creamy.

Notes

For best results, let burrata sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before using. Use ripe but firm peaches so they hold their shape on the grill. Watch the grill closely—bread and peaches can burn quickly. If you don’t have a grill, you can char the peaches in a cast-iron skillet on the stove or use a broiler.
