Cheesy Burrata Crostini with Prosciutto and Peaches
Ingredients:
1 loaf of sourdough or French baguette, sliced into ½-inch pieces
⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
⅓ cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese
1 clove garlic, finely grated or minced
2 tablespoons olive oil (plus more for drizzling)
8 oz (about 225g) burrata cheese
3–4 ripe peaches, thinly sliced
6–8 slices prosciutto
Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
Flaky sea salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Optional: balsamic glaze or honey, for drizzling
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the cheese topping:
In a small bowl, combine the grated Parmesan, Pecorino, and garlic. Mix well. - Brush the bread:
Arrange the bread slices on the baking sheet. Lightly brush each slice with olive oil on one side. - Add the cheese:
Sprinkle the cheese and garlic mixture evenly on top of each bread slice. - Bake the crostini:
Place in the oven and bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly. - Cool slightly:
Remove the crostini from the oven and let them cool for 2–3 minutes. - Add burrata:
Gently tear the burrata and spoon a generous amount onto each crostini. - Top with peaches and prosciutto:
Layer slices of peach and small pieces of prosciutto on top of the burrata. - Garnish:
Add fresh basil leaves, a pinch of flaky sea salt, and freshly cracked black pepper. - Optional drizzle:
For extra flavor, finish with a light drizzle of balsamic glaze or honey.
