Ingredients
  

  • 2 balls fresh burrata cheese 8 oz each, at room temperature
  • 3 medium heirloom tomatoes variety of colors if available
  • 2 ripe but firm peaches
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze or aged balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves torn
  • flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon honey optional
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest optional

Instructions
 

  • Wash and dry your tomatoes and peaches. Slice the heirloom tomatoes into 1/4-inch thick rounds or wedges depending on their size. For the peaches, cut them in half, remove the pits, and slice into 1/3-inch wedges.
  • On a large serving platter, artfully arrange the tomato and peach slices, alternating colors and shapes to create a visually appealing base.
  • Remove the burrata from its packaging and gently pat dry with paper towels. Place the burrata balls in the center of the arranged fruits, either keeping them whole or gently tearing them open to reveal the creamy interior.
  • Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the burrata and fruits, followed by a light drizzle of balsamic glaze. Scatter the torn basil leaves across the platter. Season with flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. If using, add a light drizzle of honey and sprinkle with lemon zest.

Notes

For best results, allow your burrata to sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes before serving to enhance its flavor profile.
If your peaches are too firm, place them in a paper bag with a banana for 24 hours to speed up ripening.
This dish is best assembled shortly before serving as tomatoes will release water if prepared too far in advance.
