Ingredients
Scale
- 1 French baguette, sliced into ½-inch rounds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 oz burrata cheese, drained and torn
- 3 ripe peaches, thinly sliced (or substitute nectarines)
- 6–8 slices prosciutto, torn or folded
- Fresh basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon honey or balsamic glaze (optional)
Instructions
- Toast the Crostini: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange baguette slices on a baking sheet, brush with olive oil, and toast for 7–10 minutes until golden and crispy. Optionally rub with a garlic clove while warm.
- Prepare the Toppings: Wash and thinly slice the peaches. Tear the burrata and prosciutto into bite-sized pieces. Set aside fresh basil leaves.
- Assemble: Top each crostini with a layer of burrata, followed by peach slices and prosciutto. Garnish with basil leaves.
- Finish: Drizzle with honey or balsamic glaze just before serving. Serve immediately for best texture.
Notes
To keep the crostini crispy, assemble just before serving. You can swap out peaches for nectarines or even figs. For a vegetarian version, skip the prosciutto and sprinkle chopped nuts or a few olives instead.
