Scale
Ingredients
- 1 fresh baguette
- 8 oz burrata cheese
- 4 oz prosciutto (thinly sliced)
- 2 ripe peaches (sliced)
- 2 tbsp balsamic glaze
- Handful fresh basil leaves
- Olive oil (for drizzling)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Bread: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the fresh baguette into ½-inch thick pieces, then arrange these slices evenly on a baking sheet.
- Toast Bread: Drizzle olive oil over each baguette slice to add crispness and flavor. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes until the bread is golden brown and crispy.
- Spread Burrata: Once the crostini are toasted, spread a generous portion of creamy burrata cheese on each slice to form the cheesy base layer.
- Add Prosciutto and Peaches: Layer thin slices of savory prosciutto followed by fresh peach slices on top of the burrata, balancing savory and sweet flavors.
- Finish with Balsamic and Basil: Drizzle each crostini with balsamic glaze for a tangy sweetness and sprinkle fresh basil leaves on top for a bright and aromatic finish before serving.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid soggy crostini.
- For a vegetarian version, omit prosciutto or replace with roasted vegetables.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast between warm toasted bread and cool burrata.
- Balsamic glaze can be homemade by reducing balsamic vinegar until syrupy if not available.
