Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
- 8 ounces fresh burrata cheese
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- Pinch of flaky sea salt
- A handful of fresh basil leaves, torn or whole
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
Instructions
- Rinse and dry the peaches, then slice them in half and remove the pits using a paring knife or spoon. Brush the cut sides lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking on the grill.
- Pour the balsamic vinegar and honey (if using) into a small saucepan. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer. Let it cook, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to a syrupy consistency—about 10-12 minutes.
- Heat your grill or grill pan to medium-high. Place the peaches cut side down and grill for about 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and the peach softens slightly. Flip and grill the skin side for another 2 minutes.
- Arrange the grilled peaches on a serving platter or individual plates. Tear the burrata into chunks or slices and scatter over the peaches. Sprinkle torn basil leaves and a pinch of flaky sea salt over everything.
- Using a spoon or small pitcher, drizzle the balsamic glaze over the salad just before serving.
Notes
Brush peaches with olive oil right before grilling to prevent sogginess. Watch balsamic reduction closely to avoid burning. Burrata should be handled gently and brought to room temperature for best texture. Sprinkle flaky sea salt at the end for a savory crunch. The balsamic reduction can be made a day ahead and stored in the fridge.
