Print Recipe

A simple yet elegant summer recipe featuring caramelized peaches roasted with balsamic vinegar, paired with creamy burrata and fresh basil for a perfect appetizer or light dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
  • A pinch of salt
  • 8 ounces fresh burrata cheese, kept cold until serving
  • A handful of fresh basil leaves, torn just before serving
  • Freshly cracked black pepper to taste (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Rinse and pat dry 4 ripe peaches. Slice them in half and carefully remove the pits, leaving the skin on.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, 1 tablespoon honey, and a pinch of salt.
  4. Place the peach halves cut side up on a baking sheet, spaced evenly. Spoon the balsamic glaze generously over each half.
  5. Roast the peaches in the oven for 15-18 minutes until tender and caramelized, checking after 12 minutes to avoid burning.
  6. Remove from oven and let the peaches rest for about 5 minutes to cool slightly.
  7. Arrange the roasted peaches on a serving platter or individual plates. Tear 8 ounces of fresh burrata over the top in chunks.
  8. Scatter torn fresh basil leaves around and on top. Add freshly cracked black pepper and an extra drizzle of olive oil or balsamic vinegar if desired.
  9. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of warm peaches and cool, creamy burrata.

Notes

Choose peaches that are ripe but firm to avoid mushy texture. Don’t skip the honey for balanced sweetness. Tear basil leaves by hand to preserve color and aroma. If glaze is too runny, return peaches to oven for a few minutes to thicken. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days and gently reheated.
