Ingredients

Scale
  • 23 ripe peaches, sliced thinly
  • 1 ball (about 4 oz / 115 g) burrata cheese
  • 4 slices crusty sourdough or rustic country loaf, toasted
  • ½ cup (170 g) honey (raw or local honey works best)
  • 1 teaspoon red chili flakes (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling
  • A few sprigs fresh thyme or basil for garnish (optional)
  • Flaky sea salt, to finish
  • Freshly ground black pepper, a pinch

Instructions

  1. Make the Chili Honey: Pour ½ cup (170 g) of honey into a small saucepan over low heat. Add 1 teaspoon of red chili flakes and stir gently. Warm the mixture just until it’s fluid and fragrant—about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let it infuse while you prepare the rest. Do not let the honey boil.
  2. Prepare the Bread: Toast 4 slices of your chosen bread until golden and crisp, about 3 to 4 minutes per side in a grill pan or 2 minutes per side in a toaster.
  3. Slice the Peaches: Wash and dry 2–3 ripe peaches. Slice them into thin wedges or rounds, about ¼ inch (6 mm) thick.
  4. Assemble the Toasts: Tear the burrata ball into chunks and spread or place it evenly over each toast slice. Arrange the peach slices on top, overlapping slightly.
  5. Drizzle and Season: Generously drizzle the warm chili honey over the assembled toasts. Follow with a light drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  6. Garnish: Finish with fresh thyme or basil leaves for an aromatic pop of green.
  7. Serve Immediately: Enjoy fresh while the bread is crunchy and peaches are juicy. Prepare in batches if needed and keep loosely covered until serving to avoid sogginess.

Notes

Let burrata sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before assembling for creamier texture. Warm chili honey gently if it hardens after cooling. Tear burrata by hand instead of slicing to preserve texture. Toast bread well to avoid sogginess. Adjust chili flakes to taste for spice level.
