Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
- 8 ounces burrata cheese, whole ball or torn into chunks
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- A handful fresh basil leaves, torn or chiffonade
- Pinch flaky sea salt
- Freshly ground black pepper (optional)
- 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat, around 375°F (190°C).
- Brush each peach half lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking and encourage browning.
- Place peaches cut side down on the grill. Grill for about 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and fruit softens slightly but holds shape.
- Flip peaches carefully and grill for another 2 minutes on the skin side until tender and juicy.
- Remove peaches from grill and let cool slightly—warm but not hot is ideal for pairing with burrata.
- While peaches grill, whisk together honey, balsamic vinegar, and lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth and glossy.
- Arrange grilled peaches on a serving platter, cut side up.
- Tear burrata cheese into chunks or slice and distribute evenly over and between the peaches.
- Drizzle the honey balsamic dressing gently over the entire salad.
- Scatter fresh basil leaves on top, then finish with a pinch of flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper if using.
- Serve immediately, enjoying the contrast of warm peaches and cool creamy burrata.
Notes
Use ripe but firm peaches for best grilling results. Brush peaches with olive oil to prevent sticking and achieve grill marks. Let burrata come to room temperature before serving for creamier texture. Store grilled peaches and burrata separately if saving leftovers and reheat peaches gently before serving.
