Print Recipe

A quick and easy summer salad featuring smoky grilled peaches, creamy burrata, salty prosciutto, fresh basil, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze. Perfect for entertaining and ready in under 20 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
  • 8 ounces (225 grams) fresh burrata cheese
  • 6–8 thin slices prosciutto
  • A handful of fresh basil leaves, roughly torn
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: squeeze of fresh lemon juice
  • Optional: crushed red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F / 205°C), approximately 5-7 minutes.
  2. Halve and pit the peaches. Lightly brush the cut sides with olive oil to prevent sticking and help caramelize on the grill.
  3. Place peaches cut-side down on the grill. Grill for 3-4 minutes until grill marks form and peaches start to soften. Flip and grill the skin side for another 2 minutes, aiming for a nice char but still firm peaches.
  4. Arrange the grilled peach halves on a serving platter.
  5. Tear the burrata into bite-sized pieces and scatter over the peaches.
  6. Drape thin slices of prosciutto around and over the peaches and burrata. Sprinkle torn basil leaves evenly.
  7. Drizzle extra virgin olive oil and balsamic glaze over everything. Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice if desired.
  8. Sprinkle crushed red pepper flakes for a hint of spice if you like. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid mushiness. Let burrata rest at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving for creaminess. If no grill is available, use a hot skillet or roast peaches in the oven at 400°F for 8-10 minutes. Season well with salt and pepper to balance flavors. Optional lemon juice and crushed red pepper flakes add brightness and spice.
