Easy Grilled Peaches and Burrata Appetizer
I truly think this grilled peaches and burrata appetizer is my favorite recipe of the whole summer! This combo is such a dream, especially with fresh basil, a drizzle of lemon oil, and a side of homemade crostini or crusty bread. It's easy to make, refreshing, and takes just minutes to throw together! I like serving it with crisp white wine or even an Aperol spritz for happy hour on the deck.
Ingredients
- 6 peaches ripe but a bit firm
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil (15 milliliters)
- 12 ounces burrata 2-3 balls (340 grams)
- 1/4 cup julienned fresh basil (12 grams)
- 2 Tablespoons lemon-infused olive oil for drizzling (30 milliliters)
- Freshly-cracked black pepper to taste
- Flaky salt to taste
- Homemade crostini for serving
Equipment
- Grill
- Neutral oil or cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F (200°C). Then, pit the peaches and cut each peach into 8 slices. (See the blog post for a tutorial!)
- Transfer the sliced peaches to a bowl and drizzle them with the olive oil. Gently toss the peaches until they are well-coated. Alternatively, you can use a pastry brush to coat both sides of the peaches with olive oil.
- Grease the grill very well with neutral oil or cooking spray. Using tongs, place the peach slices on the grill in a single layer. Grill the peaches for 2-3 minutes per side, until they are slightly softened but not mushy and have gorgeous grill marks.
- Spread the grilled peaches on a large platter. Nestle the balls of burrata in between the peaches. Sprinkle the appetizer with fresh basil. Drizzle the lemon oil over the top and finish the dish with black pepper and flaky salt, to taste.
- Serve the appetizer right away with homemade crostini or crusty bread. Enjoy!
Notes
The nutrition information does not include the crostini or bread.
If you're not a fuzzy fruit fan, feel free to use nectarines instead! You want peaches that are ripe but still a bit firm. If the peaches are too soft, they will fall apart on the grill.
Make sure to grease the grill very well! The sugar in the peaches will caramelize, and it can lead to some pretty bad sticking if you aren't careful.
If you can't find lemon oil, feel free to use regular olive oil + a sprinkle of fresh lemon zest instead.
