PEACH, BASIL & BURRATA TOASTS
The perfect little snack for a summer aperitivo. Pair with an off-dry riesling and you'll be fighting over them!
Ingredients
- extra virgin olive oil
- 2 ripe peaches sliced
- 1 tbsp golden caster sugar
- 8 slices ciabatta or baguette
- 1 ball burrata
- balsamic glaze
- small handful basil leaves only
- flaky salt & freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
-
Heat a good glug of olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat. Once hot, add the peaches, sugar and a pinch of salt and fry for 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until tender and caramelised on the edges.
-
Meanwhile, drizzle each slice of the ciabatta or baguette with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Toast them on a griddle pan set over a medium-high heat for 1-2 minutes each side, or until lightly charred with grill marks (you can also do this in a frying pan – you just won't get the char marks!).
-
Break open your burrata and give it a rough whisk. Spread evenly over the toasts, then top with the peaches. Finish with a drizzling of balsamic glaze, a few basil leaves, a sprinkling of flaky salt and a good crack of black pepper.
