Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 8 ounces burrata cheese (2 small balls), at room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons balsamic glaze
  • 4 cups loosely packed arugula
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 810 fresh basil leaves, torn
  • Flaky sea salt and cracked black pepper to taste
  • 4 slices prosciutto (optional), torn
  • 2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F / 200°C).
  2. Wash peaches, cut each in half around the pit, twist to separate, and remove pit. Brush cut sides lightly with olive oil.
  3. Grill peaches cut-side down for 3-4 minutes without moving. Flip and grill for another 2-3 minutes until slightly softened with visible char marks. Remove to a plate and let cool for 2 minutes.
  4. Arrange arugula on a serving platter in an even layer. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and a pinch of salt; toss gently.
  5. Place burrata balls on the arugula and gently tear each into 3-4 pieces.
  6. Arrange grilled peaches around and on top of the burrata, cut-side up.
  7. Drizzle with balsamic glaze (about 2 tablespoons).
  8. Finish with torn basil, flaky sea salt, and cracked black pepper. Add prosciutto or pine nuts if using. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use ripe but firm peaches to prevent them from falling apart on the grill. Let burrata come to room temperature before serving for the best creamy texture. Assemble and serve immediately to enjoy the warm-cold contrast. If peaches stick to the grill, they aren’t ready to flip; give them another 30 seconds.
