Smashed Burrata with Peaches
A creamy, luscious burrata cheese dish topped with fresh sliced peaches, crunchy candied walnuts, and a sweet fig balsamic dressing.
This smashed burrata recipe is the perfect balance of creamy, sweet, and tangy flavors, making it an ideal appetizer for warm summer afternoons.
Instructions
- 1
Arrange the burrata on a serving plate and gently tear or lightly smash it with the back of a spoon. Season with black pepper, then top with the peaches and candied walnuts.
- 2
Whisk together the fig preserves, vinegar, and olive oil until smooth.
- 3
Spoon the dressing over the burrata, then finish with fresh basil, flaky sea salt, and extra olive oil. Enjoy with crostini, crackers, or pretzels.
I absolutely love how the creaminess of the burrata melts into the sweetness of the peaches; it is such a luxurious experience. This assembly-style dish is incredibly easy to prepare, yet it feels much more sophisticated than a traditional Italian Caprese salad. The combination of the tangy balsamic and the candied walnuts provides a wonderful textural contrast that makes every bite exciting.
