A quick and easy summer dessert featuring grilled peaches with a sweet and tangy balsamic glaze, topped with creamy burrata cheese and fresh basil.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey or brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 8 ounces creamy burrata cheese, fresh and at room temperature
  • A handful of fresh basil leaves (optional)
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Freshly cracked black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Pour 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar into a small saucepan. Add 2 tablespoons honey or brown sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Let it reduce until thickened and syrupy, about 8-10 minutes. It should coat the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  2. While the glaze is reducing, wash and halve the peaches. Remove the pits carefully with a knife or spoon. Brush the cut sides lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking and to help caramelize on the grill.
  3. Heat your grill to medium-high (about 400°F). Clean the grates well to avoid sticking.
  4. Place peaches cut side down on the grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and the peaches start to soften. Flip and grill the skin side for another 2 minutes. They should be tender but not mushy.
  5. Arrange grilled peaches on a serving platter, cut side up. Tear or spoon burrata over the top in generous dollops. Drizzle the balsamic glaze evenly over everything.
  6. Scatter fresh basil leaves, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste. Serve immediately for the best texture contrast.

Notes

Brush peaches with olive oil before grilling to prevent sticking and get beautiful grill marks. Let the balsamic glaze reduce slowly over medium heat to avoid bitterness. Add burrata last and serve immediately to preserve its creamy texture. If no grill is available, oven-roast peaches at 425°F for 10-15 minutes as an alternative.
