Ingredients
Scale
- 2–3 ripe fresh peaches, thinly sliced
- 1 ball burrata cheese, room temperature
- 4–6 slices prosciutto, thinly sliced
- 1 fresh French baguette, sliced into ½-inch pieces
- Extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling
- Fresh basil leaves, torn, for garnish
- Honey, 1 teaspoon (optional)
- Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
- Sea salt, a pinch
Instructions
- Preheat your oven or toaster oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet in a single layer. Lightly brush each slice with extra virgin olive oil. Toast for 8–10 minutes until golden and crisp around the edges. Keep an eye so they don’t overbrown.
- While the bread toasts, rinse and thinly slice the peaches. Place them in a mixing bowl and drizzle with a teaspoon of honey and a pinch of sea salt. Toss gently to coat and enhance their natural sweetness. Set aside.
- Tear open the burrata ball and transfer it to a bowl. Using a spoon, gently mix the creamy inside with the outer cheese to create a spreadable consistency.
- Once the bread is toasted, spread a generous layer of the creamy burrata on each slice.
- Top each crostini with a slice or two of the honey-coated peaches. Then, fold or drape a slice of prosciutto on top. Tear prosciutto into smaller pieces if desired.
- Garnish with torn fresh basil leaves and a light drizzle of olive oil. Finish with a sprinkle of freshly cracked black pepper.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast between crunchy bread and creamy toppings.
Notes
Use ripe freestone peaches for easy slicing and best flavor. Burrata should be at room temperature and gently mixed for a creamy spread. Toast bread well to avoid sogginess. For gluten-free, substitute baguette with gluten-free bread or crackers. Variations include using figs or nectarines instead of peaches, or adding a spicy kick with red pepper flakes or chili-infused honey.
