Scale
Ingredients
- 1 fresh baguette
- 8 oz burrata cheese
- 4 oz prosciutto, thinly sliced
- 2 ripe peaches, sliced
- 2 tbsp balsamic glaze
- Handful fresh basil leaves
- Olive oil for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Toast Baguette: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the baguette into ½-inch thick pieces and arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil over each slice to enhance crispiness.
- Bake Crostini: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes or until the baguette slices are golden brown and crispy, perfect for a sturdy base.
- Spread Burrata: Remove the toasted baguette slices from the oven and spread a generous portion of creamy burrata cheese on each piece while still slightly warm for easier spreading.
- Layer Prosciutto and Peach: Top each crostini with thin slices of prosciutto followed by fresh peach slices, adding a combination of savory and sweet flavors.
- Add Final Touches: Drizzle the assembled crostini with balsamic glaze and sprinkle fresh basil leaves on top for a vibrant, aromatic finish before serving.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm peaches to prevent soggy crostini.
- Optionally, lightly brush olive oil on the baking sheet to prevent sticking.
- Balsamic glaze can be substituted with aged balsamic vinegar if glaze is not available.
- Serve immediately to maintain crostini crispiness.
- For a vegetarian version, omit the prosciutto.
