A delightful twist on the classic Caprese salad featuring caramelized brown sugar grilled peaches paired with creamy burrata and salty prosciutto, perfect for summer entertaining.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 34 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 8 ounces burrata cheese, drained and sliced
  • 68 thin slices prosciutto, torn into smaller pieces
  • A handful fresh basil leaves, torn or whole
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • About 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze (optional)
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat, around 400°F (204°C).
  2. Halve and pit the peaches. Sprinkle each cut side generously with brown sugar, pressing lightly so it sticks.
  3. Place the peaches cut-side down on the grill. Grill for about 3 to 4 minutes until the sugar melts and caramelizes, creating a deep golden crust.
  4. Turn peaches over and grill the skin side for another 2 minutes just to warm through.
  5. While peaches grill, slice or tear burrata into bite-sized pieces and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes.
  6. On your serving dish, alternate grilled peach halves with burrata pieces and torn prosciutto slices. Scatter fresh basil leaves throughout.
  7. Drizzle everything with extra virgin olive oil and balsamic glaze (if using). Sprinkle with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  8. Serve immediately while peaches are still warm and burrata is soft.

Notes

Use firm but ripe peaches to hold their shape on the grill. Watch the sugar carefully to avoid burning. Let burrata rest at room temperature for creaminess. Can substitute nectarines or plums for peaches. For a vegan version, omit prosciutto and burrata and add plant-based cheese and nuts.
