Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 ripe, juicy peaches, washed, pitted, and sliced
  • 8 oz burrata cheese, at room temperature
  • 6–8 slices thinly sliced prosciutto
  • 4 thick slices of crusty bread (sourdough or rustic baguette)
  • 2 tablespoons good quality extra virgin olive oil
  • Fresh basil or mint leaves, for garnish
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Optional Ingredients

  • Honey or balsamic glaze, for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Toast Your Bread: Slice the crusty bread into thick pieces and toast until golden brown and crisp to provide a sturdy, crunchy base for the toppings.
  2. Prepare the Peaches: Wash, pit, and slice the peaches into thin wedges or bite-sized chunks to maximize their juiciness and sweetness.
  3. Assemble the Toast: Spread a generous amount of room temperature burrata cheese evenly across each toasted bread slice. Layer the peach slices on top, then add folded pieces of prosciutto to introduce a savory contrast.
  4. Drizzle and Garnish: Finish each toast with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and optional honey or balsamic glaze. Season with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh basil or mint leaves for a refreshing herbal note.

Notes

  • Use room temperature burrata to enhance its creamy texture and flavor—let it sit out for about 15 minutes before assembling.
  • Choose ripe but firm peaches to ensure they hold shape and don’t become mushy on the toast.
  • If you don’t have a toaster, warm bread slices in a hot skillet with olive oil for extra flavor.
  • Balance the toppings evenly to avoid soggy bread and ensure a perfect bite each time.
  • Experiment with garnishes like microgreens, edible flowers, or lemon zest for presentation and added flavor.
  • Store leftover peaches and prosciutto separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator; keep toast wrapped in foil at room temperature for a few hours but consume quickly to maintain crispiness.
  • Reheat toast in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes if needed; add fresh burrata and peaches after warming.
  • Freezing is not recommended as burrata and peaches lose their texture and flavor.
