Ingredients
Scale
Bread
- 1 fresh baguette
Cheese
- 8 oz burrata cheese
Meat
- 4 oz prosciutto, thinly sliced
Produce
- 2 ripe peaches, sliced
- Handful fresh basil leaves
Condiments
- 2 tbsp balsamic glaze
- Olive oil, for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat and slice: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the baguette into ½-inch thick pieces and arrange them evenly on a baking sheet.
- Toast the bread: Drizzle olive oil over each baguette slice, ensuring they are lightly coated. Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes until the slices turn golden brown and crispy.
- Spread burrata: Once toasted, spread a generous portion of creamy burrata cheese onto each crostini while still slightly warm.
- Add toppings: Layer thin slices of savory prosciutto and fresh peach slices on top of the burrata-covered crostini.
- Finish and serve: Drizzle each crostini with balsamic glaze and sprinkle fresh basil leaves right before serving for added freshness and flavor.
Notes
- Make sure peaches are ripe but firm to avoid sogginess on the crostini.
- Burrata can be substituted with fresh mozzarella for a similar texture but less creaminess.
- Use high-quality prosciutto for the best flavor.
- Balsamic glaze can be homemade by reducing balsamic vinegar or store-bought for convenience.
- Serve immediately after assembly to keep the bread crispy.
