Print Recipe

A light, fresh, and indulgent summer appetizer featuring ripe peaches, creamy burrata, salty prosciutto, and tangy balsamic glaze on toasted baguette slices.

Ingredients

  • Fresh peaches, ripe but firm, sliced thinly
  • Burrata cheese, soft and creamy
  • Prosciutto, thinly sliced
  • Baguette or rustic Italian bread, sliced about ½ inch thick
  • Extra virgin olive oil, for brushing the bread
  • Balsamic vinegar reduction or glaze, for drizzling
  • Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Slice the baguette into ½-inch thick rounds.
  3. Brush each bread slice lightly with extra virgin olive oil on both sides.
  4. Arrange the bread slices in a single layer on the baking sheet and toast in the oven for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp.
  5. While the bread toasts, wash, dry, and slice peaches thinly (about 1/8 inch). Pat dry if very juicy.
  6. Once the bread is toasted, let it cool slightly. Spread a generous spoonful of burrata onto each crostini.
  7. Layer peach slices over the burrata, then fold prosciutto slices on top.
  8. Season lightly with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
  9. Drizzle balsamic glaze generously over each crostini.
  10. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve immediately.

Notes

Toast bread just until crisp but not burnt to avoid hard texture. Pat peaches dry if very juicy to prevent soggy bread. Let burrata sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before spreading for best texture. Use good-quality balsamic glaze for best flavor. Assemble crostini just before serving to maintain crispness.
