Instructions
Instructions
- Toast the bread: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush baguette slices with olive oil and bake for 8–10 minutes until golden and crisp.
- Prepare the topping: In a bowl, combine diced peaches, chopped basil, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss gently to coat.
- Add the cheese: Tear the burrata into small pieces and set aside.
- Assemble: Spread or place burrata onto each toasted baguette slice, then spoon the peach mixture over the top.
- Finish: Drizzle with balsamic glaze and hot honey if desired.
- Garnish: Sprinkle with pistachios, thyme, lemon zest, or extra basil for added flavor and texture.
- Serve: Enjoy immediately while the bread is crisp and the peaches are fresh and juicy.
Notes
Choose ripe but firm peaches for the best texture. Assemble the bruschetta just before serving to keep the bread crunchy. Ricotta, whipped feta, or goat cheese are delicious substitutes for burrata.
