Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 ripe but firm fresh peaches, halved and pitted
- 8 ounces fresh burrata cheese, drained and at room temperature
- 6–8 thin slices prosciutto, torn into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup fresh basil leaves, washed and patted dry
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
- Sea salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 375–400°F).
- Rinse and dry peaches, slice each in half and remove the pit carefully. Lightly brush the cut sides with olive oil.
- Place peaches cut-side down on the grill. Grill for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and fruit softens slightly. Flip and grill the skin side for another 2 minutes. Remove and let cool for 5 minutes.
- In a bowl, place burrata and add torn fresh basil leaves, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and lemon juice if using. Gently toss to combine without breaking up the cheese completely.
- Arrange grilled peaches on a serving platter. Scatter the burrata and basil mixture over the top, then tear and sprinkle prosciutto evenly.
- Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Drizzle balsamic glaze over the entire salad just before serving.
Notes
If peaches aren’t ripe enough, soak in warm water for 10 minutes before grilling. Let burrata sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before assembling for creamier texture. Tear prosciutto by hand for best texture. If no grill is available, broil peaches for 3-5 minutes watching carefully. Store components separately if saving leftovers.
