Description

Grilled Peach and Burrata Crostini is an elegant and simple appetizer featuring toasted French baguette slices topped with smoky grilled peaches, creamy burrata cheese, fresh basil, and a drizzle of sweet balsamic glaze. This Italian-inspired recipe is perfect for summer entertaining or special occasions, combining fresh and vibrant flavors with an easy grilling technique.

Ingredients

Bread and Cheese

  • 1 French baguette, sliced into 12 pieces
  • 8 ounces burrata cheese

Grilled Peaches

  • 2 ripe peaches, halved and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Toppings and Seasoning

  • 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Fresh basil leaves, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat to ensure proper charring and toasting for the peaches and bread.
  2. Prepare Peaches: Brush the peach slices lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking and enhance grilling.
  3. Grill Peaches: Place the peach slices on the grill and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, until they develop light grill marks and a smoky flavor.
  4. Toast Baguette: While peaches grill, toast the baguette slices on the grill for 1–2 minutes on each side until they are crisp and golden.
  5. Assemble Crostini: Tear the burrata cheese into portions and spread evenly onto each toasted baguette slice.
  6. Add Peaches: Arrange grilled peach slices on top of the cheese-covered crostini.
  7. Finish with Seasoning: Drizzle each crostini with balsamic glaze, then sprinkle with chopped fresh basil, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Optionally garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve immediately for best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Nectarines make an excellent substitute for peaches when unavailable.
  • Grill the bread just before serving to maintain a crispy texture.
  • Add a drizzle of hot honey on top for a delicious sweet-spicy variation.
  • Best enjoyed fresh to preserve the contrast of textures and flavors.
