Ingredients
- 3–4 ripe but firm fresh peaches, sliced into ½ inch wedges
- 2 tablespoons honey (raw or wildflower preferred)
- Burrata cheese, fresh and creamy
- Baguette or French bread, sliced about ¼ inch thick
- Fresh basil leaves, torn or chiffonade
- Optional: extra virgin olive oil for drizzling
- Optional: flaky sea salt for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Slice peaches into ½ inch thick wedges. Place in a mixing bowl and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of honey. Toss gently to coat evenly.
- Spread honey-coated peach slices in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast for 15-20 minutes until tender and golden with sticky edges, watching closely to avoid burning.
- While peaches roast, slice baguette into ¼ inch thick pieces. Arrange on a separate baking tray or grill pan, brush lightly with olive oil if desired. Toast in the oven for about 8 minutes or until crisp and golden. Alternatively, toast on a stovetop skillet.
- Spread a generous spoonful of burrata cheese on each toasted bread slice. Top with a warm honey roasted peach slice.
- Tear fresh basil leaves and scatter on top. Drizzle more honey or olive oil if desired and sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Serve immediately.
Notes
Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid mushy texture. Toss peaches gently with honey to prevent bruising. Toast bread until just golden and crisp to hold up against juicy peaches and creamy burrata. Add fresh basil just before serving to preserve its bright flavor. Optional toppings include a drizzle of olive oil, flaky sea salt, balsamic glaze, or toasted nuts for crunch. For dairy-free, substitute burrata with cashew-based soft cheese and honey with maple syrup.
