Ingredients
Scale
- 4 firm but ripe fresh peaches
- 8 oz fresh burrata cheese
- 1/4 cup honey (preferably raw wildflower honey)
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar (thick, aged)
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
- Flaky sea salt, to taste
- Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
- Optional: 1/4 cup toasted pecans or walnuts
Instructions
- Wash and halve the peaches, removing the pits. Brush each cut side lightly with olive oil.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
- Place the peaches cut side down on the hot grill. Cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and the fruit softens.
- Flip the peaches and grill the skin side for another 3-4 minutes until tender but not mushy.
- While peaches grill, combine balsamic vinegar and honey in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until thickened and syrupy (6-8 minutes).
- Arrange grilled peaches on a serving platter. Tear or slice burrata and place over and around the peaches.
- Scatter fresh basil leaves and optional toasted nuts on top. Season with flaky sea salt and cracked black pepper.
- Drizzle the warm honey balsamic glaze over the salad and finish with a drizzle of olive oil before serving.
Notes
Use ripe peaches for best caramelization. Brush peaches with olive oil instead of oiling the grill to prevent sticking. Let burrata sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving for best texture. The glaze should be warm but not hot when drizzling. For vegan version, substitute burrata with plant-based cheese and honey with maple syrup.
