Print Recipe

A fresh, juicy, and slightly smoky twist on the classic caprese salad featuring grilled peaches, creamy burrata, fresh basil, and a sweet-spicy hot honey drizzle. Perfect for quick summer gatherings or last-minute entertaining.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 1 (8-ounce) ball burrata cheese
  • A handful of fresh basil leaves, torn or whole
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons hot honey (or honey mixed with a pinch of chili flakes)
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: toasted pine nuts or sliced almonds for crunch

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C).
  2. Rinse and dry the peaches. Slice them in half and remove pits.
  3. Brush each peach half lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking and help caramelize.
  4. Place peach halves cut side down on the grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes without moving to get grill marks.
  5. Flip peaches and grill the skin side for another 2 minutes until tender but still holding shape.
  6. Arrange grilled peach halves on a serving platter or individual plates with cut sides facing up.
  7. Tear or slice the burrata over the peaches, allowing the creamy center to ooze out.
  8. Scatter fresh basil leaves over the top.
  9. Lightly sprinkle sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to balance sweetness.
  10. Generously drizzle hot honey all over the peaches and burrata.
  11. If using, sprinkle toasted pine nuts or sliced almonds for added texture.
  12. Serve immediately while peaches are warm and burrata is soft.

Notes

Use firm but ripe peaches to avoid mushiness on the grill. Let burrata sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving for best creaminess. Drizzle hot honey last to avoid burning. Avoid overcrowding the grill to ensure proper caramelization. If no grill is available, roast peaches at 425°F (220°C) for 10-12 minutes as an alternative.
