This dish is such a refreshing appetizer to serve your family and friends this summer. Hubby and I have even eaten it as our main course for dinner!
Fresh California peaches and sweet basil surrounds a delicate mound of burrata. It’s almost like a deconstructed bruschetta using the best part of Summer…. all on one plate!
The presentation is gorgeous and of course, the flavor combo is amazing.
I was first introduced to this combo at a local favorite restaurant and was completely smitten. The ingredients combination was genius, yet so simple. And thanks to the simplicity, I knew it would be easy to replicate and share with all of you!
First step is to drizzle a small amount of California Olive Oil onto a platter
Place the Burrata in the middle of the platter
Surround by fresh, sliced peaches
Add the prosciutto
Top with chiffonade basil
Sprinkle fresh ground pepper over the entire dish
Add a little more olive oil to the top and serve
Serve with small toasts for the best foundation for some major flavor stacking!
Now that is a tasty lookin’ crostini!
