Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
- 1 (8-ounce) ball fresh burrata cheese
- 1/3 cup fresh basil leaves, gently torn
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze
- Pinch of sea salt
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Rinse and dry the peaches. Slice each peach in half and carefully remove the pit, keeping the halves intact.
- Preheat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat until hot.
- Lightly brush peach halves with olive oil to prevent sticking. Place peaches cut side down on the grill and grill for 3-4 minutes until caramelized grill marks appear.
- Flip peaches and grill the skin side for another 3-4 minutes until tender but not mushy.
- Arrange grilled peach halves on a serving plate. Tear burrata into chunks and distribute over the peaches.
- Scatter fresh basil leaves on top.
- Drizzle extra virgin olive oil and balsamic glaze evenly over the salad.
- Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Let the salad sit for 2-3 minutes to allow flavors to meld before serving.
Notes
Use firm but ripe peaches for best grilling results. Avoid over-handling burrata to maintain its creamy texture. If peaches are very juicy, pat dry after grilling to prevent watery salad. Grilled peaches can be prepared ahead and refrigerated; add basil and burrata just before serving.
