Sweet , warm, grilled peaches… there is nothing like them. And they are part of one of my favorite summer lunch recipes: Grilled Peaches with Burrata and Prosciutto served with a little side salad of arugula, all drizzled with a tangy balsamic glaze.

Let’s Talk all Things Peaches:

Peaches are a ‘stone fruit’. Stone fruits have a large pit in the center that is surrounded by a thick flesh. Cherries, apricots, peaches, nectarines etc… are all stone fruits. Stone fruits are high in antioxidants and therefore have natural anti inflammatory properties. Unfortunately they are only in season for a short time so take advantage by putting them in everything we can! I love them in salads, on cottage cheese, and served grilled with creamy burrata cheese, salty prosciutto, and arugula drizzled with a tangy balsamic glaze. 

 “Free-Stone” Peaches or “Cling” Peaches?

If available you want to use ‘freestone peaches’ instead of ‘cling’ peaches for this recipe. Cling peaches literally cling to the pit, making them perfect for eating but not as convenient when you want to cut the peach in half and remove the stone for grilling. Freestone peaches on the other hand separate easily and the pit falls right out. Free stone peaches are usually available for mid-June to mid-August. If you can’t find free stone peaches you can still use ‘cling’ peaches, but you will need to slice them instead of cutting them in half.

Grilled Peaches with Burrata and Prosciutto:

When peaches are in season we have to take advantage by putting them in everything we can! I love them in salads, on cottage cheese, and served grilled with creamy burrata cheese, salty prosciutto, and arugula drizzled with a tangy balsamic glaze. Yum!

Grilling Peaches:

Grilling peaches is easy, and you can do it indoors or out. If grilling indoors you’ll need a grill pan. All you do is cut your peach in half, heat your pan or outdoor grill, brush with a little olive oil, and grill until marks are formed, that usually takes about three mionutes. Grilling makes those peached even sweeter, if you can believe it!

The Burrata:

Burrata cheese is a rich creamy cheese that is sort of like a combination of fresh mozzarella and cream. It’s amazing and one of my favorite cheeses. Paired with sweet peaches and prosciutto it’s a dreamy combination.
