Description
Juicy grilled peaches paired with creamy burrata and fresh basil, drizzled with honey and balsamic glaze. A quick, fresh, and flavorful summer appetizer ready in 20 minutes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large ripe but firm fresh peaches
- 8 oz (225g) burrata cheese
- 1 cup loosely packed fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) honey
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) balsamic glaze
- 6–8 wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Rinse and slice peaches into ½ inch thick wedges. Wash and pat dry basil leaves; tear large leaves into bite-sized pieces.
- In a mixing bowl, toss peach wedges with 1 tablespoon olive oil and a pinch of salt.
- Thread peach wedges, basil leaves, and small burrata pieces onto skewers, alternating ingredients. Use 3-4 peach wedges, 3-4 basil leaves, and 2-3 burrata pieces per skewer.
- Heat grill or grill pan to medium-high and brush grates with olive oil. Grill skewers for 2-3 minutes per side until peaches have grill marks and soften slightly, and burrata warms but does not melt.
- Remove skewers from grill and arrange on a serving platter. Drizzle with remaining olive oil, honey, and balsamic glaze. Finish with freshly ground black pepper and serve immediately.
Notes
Use firm but ripe peaches to prevent them from falling apart on the grill. Soak wooden skewers before grilling to avoid burning. Watch burrata carefully to warm it without melting. Balsamic glaze can be homemade by reducing balsamic vinegar. For a vegan version, substitute burrata with plant-based cheese or marinated tofu. Toasted pine nuts or chopped pistachios add a nice crunch if desired.
