Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 ripe fresh peaches, thinly sliced
  • 8 oz burrata cheese, room temperature
  • 68 slices thin prosciutto
  • 1 rustic baguette or sourdough loaf, sliced into 1/2-inch thick pieces
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 810 fresh basil leaves
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • Honey (optional), for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Toast the Bread: Slice your crusty bread about 1/2-inch thick and toast until golden with crunchy edges but still soft inside, creating a sturdy base that stands up to toppings without becoming soggy.
  2. Prepare the Peaches: Wash the ripe peaches thoroughly and slice them thinly into smooth, even pieces, ensuring maximum juiciness and sweet flavor in every bite.
  3. Assemble the Toast: Spread a generous portion of burrata cheese on each toasted bread slice, allowing the creamy interior to slightly ooze. Then layer thin slices of prosciutto evenly over the burrata, followed by the peach slices arranged artfully.
  4. Add Finishing Touches: Drizzle extra virgin olive oil over the assembled toast, season lightly with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper, then scatter fresh basil leaves on top for color and herbaceous aroma. Finish with a light drizzle of honey or balsamic glaze if desired.

Notes

  • Choose peaches that are ripe and slightly soft with a fragrant aroma to enhance sweetness and texture.
  • Allow burrata cheese to come to room temperature before assembling for the creamiest texture.
  • Toast bread well to provide a crispy, sturdy base and prevent sogginess.
  • Use fresh herbs like basil or mint to brighten the dish and add freshness.
  • Avoid overloading toast with toppings to maintain balance and easy bite-ability.
