Ingredients
  

Grilled peaches
  • 4 peaches Ripe peaches, halved and pitted.
  • 1 tbsp olive oil For brushing the cut sides before grilling.
Burrata and toppings
  • 8 oz fresh burrata Use 2 balls (8 oz total), torn and nested between peaches.
  • 1 cup pistachios Roughly chopped; scatter over peaches and burrata.
  • 3 tbsp honey Drizzle generously over everything.
  • 1 fresh basil leaves Torn; finish right before serving.
  • 1 flaky sea salt Sprinkle to taste.
  • 1 black pepper Cracked; sprinkle to taste.
  • 1 crusty bread Optional for serving.

Equipment

  • 1 cast iron skillet
  • 1 sheet pan

Method
 

Grill the peaches
  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat until hot. Brush the peach halves with olive oil and keep the cut side ready to hit the grates.
  2. Grill the peach halves cut-side down for 4-5 minutes. Cook until deep grill marks form and the peaches are caramelized and tender.
Assemble and serve
  1. Arrange the warm grilled peaches on a large serving platter. Spread them in a single layer so the juices collect where the burrata will go.
  2. Tear the burrata balls in half and nestle the pieces between the peach halves. Allow the cream to spill onto the platter as you place each half.
  3. Scatter the pistachios over everything. Drizzle with honey generously so it coats the peaches and pools around the burrata.
  4. Finish with torn basil leaves, flaky sea salt, and cracked black pepper. Serve immediately, with crusty bread if using, for best contrast.

Notes

Pro tip: serve right after grilling so the peaches stay warm and tender while the burrata keeps its creamy texture. Store leftovers in the fridge up to 2 days, but note the peaches soften and the burrata will firm slightly; freezing is not recommended. For a lighter option, swap burrata for part-skim fresh mozzarella or a smaller portion of burrata while keeping the honey and pistachios the same.
