Ingredients

Scale
  • 34 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
  • 1 ball (about 8 oz / 225g) fresh burrata cheese
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • A handful fresh basil leaves, torn or whole
  • 4 cups arugula or mixed greens (optional)
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Toasted pine nuts or chopped pistachios for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F / 200°C).
  2. Rinse and halve 3–4 ripe peaches. Remove pits carefully. Lightly brush each peach half with olive oil.
  3. Place peach halves cut side down on the grill. Cook for 3–4 minutes until grill marks appear and peaches soften slightly but still hold shape. Flip and grill skin side for 1–2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. In a small bowl or saucepan, whisk together 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar and 2 tablespoons honey. Optionally simmer gently for 3–5 minutes to reduce and thicken.
  5. On a large platter, arrange a bed of 4 cups arugula or mixed greens (if using). Tear or slice burrata and place evenly across the salad. Arrange grilled peaches on top, cut side up.
  6. Drizzle the balsamic honey glaze evenly over the salad. Scatter fresh basil leaves and sprinkle with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Add toasted pine nuts or chopped pistachios if desired.
  7. Serve immediately while peaches are warm and burrata is creamy.

Notes

Choose peaches that are ripe but firm to avoid mushy grilled fruit. Preheat grill or grill pan well and avoid overcrowding peaches for best caramelization. The balsamic honey glaze can be simmered to thicken or mixed directly. Tear burrata instead of slicing for better texture and flavor absorption. Season with sea salt to enhance flavors. Store leftovers separately and assemble just before serving to keep textures fresh.
