Cook Time: 20 minutes
Servings: 6

Ingredients

  • 2 yellow peaches, halved, pits removed
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 12 - 15 slices of prosciutto
  • 2 balls of burrata cheese
  • Your favorite salad mix (I love using arugula, but spring mix or butter lettuce would also work well)
  • 1/2 cup toasted hazelnuts
  • Olive oil
  • Balsamic vinegar
  • Salt and Pepper

Instructions

  • Heat a grill pan on the stove. Brush each peach half with melted butter, place face down on grill pan. You want a nice char which should take about 3-5 minutes. If you're grilling outside, you can also do this on a charcoal or gas grill. Lay the peach halves face down, directly on the grill. Keep watch because charcoal is much hotter, so the peaches may only take 2-4 minutes. The char adds a lovely flavor, and also softens the peaches a bit.
  • Set peaches aside to cool a bit.
  • When peaches are cooled enough to handle, cut them into slices.
  • Lay out 6 plates.
  • Arrange a small handful of arugula on each plate.
  • Lay a few peach slices on each plate, along with 2-3 slices of prosciutto.
  • In a small bowl, tear the balls of burrata into pieces. The cream will run out and that's ok!
  • Spoon a bit of the cheese (don't forget the creamy center, too!) over each plate.
  • Drizzle olive oil and balsamic vinegar over each plate. I usually just eyeball this, but it's about 2 tablespoons olive oil to 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar. Taste and adjust depending on how much dressing you like.
  • Add a generous pinch of Maldon salt, a few twists of freshly ground pepper, and a few hazelnuts.
  • Serve immediately.

IF SERVING LATER:

  • Grill the peaches earlier in the day and keep at room temperature until ready to serve.
  • Toast the hazelnuts the day before. Store at room temperature.
