Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
- 8 oz (225g) fresh burrata cheese
- 1 cup loosely packed fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
- Sea salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Optional: a handful of arugula or mixed greens
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 10 minutes).
- Wash and halve the peaches, removing the pits carefully.
- Brush peach halves lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Grill peaches for 3-4 minutes per side until golden grill marks appear and flesh softens.
- Remove peaches from the grill and let cool slightly, then slice each half into 3-4 wedges.
- Arrange peach slices on a serving platter or bowl.
- Tear burrata cheese into chunks and scatter over the peaches.
- Toss fresh basil leaves (and optional arugula) over the top.
- Drizzle the salad with remaining olive oil and balsamic glaze.
- Sprinkle with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately while peaches are warm and burrata is creamy.
Notes
Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid mushiness. Brush peaches with olive oil to prevent sticking. Keep grill temperature medium-high to get perfect caramelization without burning. Burrata is delicate; fresh mozzarella can be used but is less creamy. Serve immediately for best texture and flavor. Leftovers keep up to 1 day refrigerated; add fresh burrata when serving again.
