A simple and elegant summer recipe featuring grilled peaches caramelized to perfection, topped with creamy burrata cheese and drizzled with a sweet-tart honey balsamic glaze.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 8 ounces burrata cheese, drained and torn into pieces
  • 2 tablespoons good quality honey
  • 2 tablespoons aged balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • A handful of fresh basil leaves, torn (optional)
  • Sea salt, a pinch to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat, about 375°F (190°C), which takes around 10 minutes.
  2. Rinse and dry the peaches. Cut them in half and remove the pits carefully. Brush each peach half with 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil.
  3. Place the peach halves cut-side down on the grill. Grill for 3-4 minutes without moving until grill marks appear and peaches start to soften.
  4. Flip the peaches carefully using tongs and grill the skin side for another 2-3 minutes until tender but not mushy.
  5. While peaches grill, whisk together 2 tablespoons honey and 2 tablespoons aged balsamic vinegar in a small bowl until smooth and slightly thickened.
  6. Transfer grilled peaches to a serving plate, cut-side up. Tear burrata into pieces and scatter over the peaches.
  7. Drizzle the honey balsamic mixture over the peaches and burrata. Sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper if desired.
  8. Scatter torn fresh basil leaves on top for garnish.
  9. Serve immediately, best enjoyed warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Use firm but ripe freestone peaches for easy pitting and best grilling results. Keep burrata cold until just before serving to maintain its creamy texture. If you don’t have a grill, a cast-iron skillet or broiler can be used with careful attention to avoid burning. The honey balsamic drizzle can be prepared a day ahead and stored in the fridge. Serve warm or at room temperature for best flavor.
