A quick and sophisticated appetizer featuring grilled nectarines and creamy burrata on crusty bread, finished with a sweet honey drizzle. Perfect for summer nights and entertaining guests.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Baguette or rustic Italian bread, sliced into 1/2-inch pieces (preferably day-old)
  • 2–3 ripe but firm nectarines, halved and pitted
  • 1 ball burrata cheese (about 8 ounces / 230 grams)
  • Extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing
  • 2 tablespoons honey (raw or wildflower preferred)
  • Fresh thyme or basil leaves (optional, for garnish)
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F / 200°C).
  2. Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices and brush both sides lightly with extra-virgin olive oil.
  3. Wash, halve, and pit the nectarines. Brush the cut sides lightly with olive oil.
  4. Grill the bread slices for about 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp.
  5. Grill the nectarines cut side down for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and the fruit softens slightly, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the skin side.
  6. Remove bread and nectarines from the grill and let the bread cool slightly.
  7. Tear or slice burrata and place a generous amount on each bread slice. Top with a grilled nectarine half.
  8. Drizzle honey evenly over the assembled crostini. Add a pinch of sea salt or fresh thyme leaves if desired.
  9. Serve immediately while the burrata is creamy and the bread is crisp.

Notes

Let burrata sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before assembling for easier spreading. Brush bread lightly with olive oil to keep it crispy. Warm honey slightly if crystallized for easier drizzling. Store components separately if making ahead and reheat bread before assembling.
