Print Recipe

A quick and easy summer salad featuring grilled peaches, creamy burrata, and salty prosciutto, perfect for light meals or entertaining.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 ripe but firm peaches (freestone if possible)
  • 1 ball burrata cheese (around 8 oz / 225 g)
  • 6–8 thin slices prosciutto
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • A handful fresh basil leaves
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
  • Sea salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Optional: squeeze of fresh lemon juice
  • Optional: toasted pine nuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 5 minutes).
  2. Rinse and dry the peaches. Slice each peach in half and remove the pit. Cut each half into 3-4 thick wedges, about 1/2 inch thick.
  3. Brush each peach wedge lightly with about 1 tablespoon of olive oil to prevent sticking and promote caramelization.
  4. Place the peach wedges on the grill cut side down. Grill for 3-4 minutes without moving them until grill marks form.
  5. Flip and grill the other side for 2-3 minutes until peaches are tender but still hold their shape. Lower heat if burning occurs.
  6. On a serving platter, tear or slice the burrata into bite-sized pieces and spread evenly. Scatter fresh basil leaves over the cheese.
  7. Arrange the warm grilled peach wedges over the burrata. Drape thin slices of prosciutto around and on top, allowing some edges to crisp slightly.
  8. Drizzle with remaining olive oil and balsamic glaze. Sprinkle sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
  9. Add a few more basil leaves and, if desired, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
  10. Optional: scatter toasted pine nuts or a light handful of arugula for extra crunch and peppery flavor.
  11. Serve immediately while peaches are warm and burrata is creamy.

Notes

Use fresh, ripe but firm peaches for best grilling results. Let prosciutto come to room temperature or briefly crisp it in a hot pan for texture. Avoid overdressing with balsamic glaze to prevent bitterness. Prepare peaches ahead but assemble salad just before serving to keep burrata creamy.
