A quick and easy summer recipe that combines smoky grilled peaches with creamy burrata and salty prosciutto for a fresh, flavorful twist on the classic caprese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large ripe peaches, halved and pitted
  • 8 ounces fresh burrata cheese
  • 68 thin slices of prosciutto
  • A handful of whole fresh basil leaves
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: squeeze of fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat, about 400°F (200°C).
  2. Halve the peaches and carefully remove the pits. Brush the cut sides lightly with olive oil.
  3. Place the peach halves cut-side down on the grill. Grill for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and peaches soften slightly but hold their shape.
  4. Flip the peaches and grill for another 2 minutes on the skin side. Remove and let cool slightly.
  5. On a large platter, layer the grilled peach halves, torn burrata pieces, and prosciutto slices. Scatter fresh basil leaves over the top.
  6. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and balsamic glaze. Sprinkle sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Add a squeeze of lemon juice if desired.
  7. Let the dish sit for 5 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.

Notes

Use firm but ripe peaches to prevent them from falling apart on the grill. Brush peaches with olive oil right before grilling to prevent sticking. Let burrata sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before assembling for best texture. Avoid overcooking peaches to keep them tender but intact. For dairy-free, substitute burrata with cashew cheese or avocado spread. For vegan, omit prosciutto and use vegan cheese alternatives.
