Print Recipe

A simple, fresh, and elegant summer appetizer featuring ripe peaches, creamy burrata, savory prosciutto, and a sweet honey balsamic drizzle that balances sweet, salty, and creamy flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe but firm peaches, sliced into wedges
  • 8 ounces fresh burrata cheese
  • 6 to 8 thin slices prosciutto
  • ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey (raw or wildflower honey preferred)
  • Pinch of salt
  • About 1 cup fresh basil leaves, torn or whole
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Pinch of sea salt flakes (such as Maldon salt)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Honey Balsamic Drizzle: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine ¼ cup balsamic vinegar, 2 tablespoons honey, and a pinch of salt. Stir occasionally as the mixture simmers. Reduce gently until it thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
  2. Slice the Peaches: Wash and dry peaches. Using a sharp knife, cut into ¼ inch thick wedges, handling gently to avoid mushiness. Set aside.
  3. Arrange the Burrata: Place the burrata ball in the center of a serving platter. Tear into smaller pieces if desired to distribute creaminess.
  4. Add Peaches and Prosciutto: Fan peach slices around the burrata. Tear prosciutto into bite-sized strips and tuck between peach slices for a rustic look.
  5. Garnish with Basil and Olive Oil: Scatter fresh basil leaves over the arrangement. Drizzle 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil on top.
  6. Finish with Honey Balsamic Drizzle and Seasoning: Drizzle the cooled honey balsamic reduction evenly over the peaches, burrata, and prosciutto. Sprinkle sea salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Notes

Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid mushiness. Reduce balsamic and honey over low to medium heat to prevent burning. Tear prosciutto by hand for a rustic look. Prepare honey balsamic drizzle ahead and store in fridge. Arrange peaches and prosciutto just before serving to maintain freshness. This recipe is naturally gluten-free and can be adapted for vegan diets by substituting burrata and honey.
