Print Recipe

A smoky, sweet twist on the classic Caprese salad featuring grilled peaches, creamy burrata, fresh basil, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze. Perfect for summer and ready in under 20 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 8 ounces burrata cheese
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, loosely packed and torn
  • 1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, halved (optional)
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Cracked black pepper, to taste
  • Toasted pine nuts or walnuts for crunch (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F).
  2. Rinse and dry peaches, slice in half and remove pits. Brush each half lightly with olive oil.
  3. Place peach halves cut side down on the grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes without moving to get grill marks and caramelization.
  4. Flip peaches and grill for another 2 minutes on the skin side to warm through. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  5. While peaches grill, halve cherry tomatoes and tear basil leaves. Toast nuts lightly in a dry skillet for 2-3 minutes if using.
  6. On a large platter or plates, arrange grilled peach halves, halved tomatoes, and torn basil.
  7. Tear burrata into chunks and scatter over the salad.
  8. Drizzle olive oil and balsamic glaze over the top.
  9. Season generously with sea salt and cracked black pepper.
  10. Sprinkle toasted nuts on top if desired and serve immediately.

Notes

If burrata is too cold, take it out of the fridge about 15 minutes before assembling to soften. Use peaches that are ripe but firm to avoid mushiness on the grill. Oil grill grates to prevent sticking. Salt peaches after grilling to avoid sogginess. Toast nuts lightly for added crunch. Tomatoes are optional but add fresh acidity.
