Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 slices of bread
- 1 ripe peach, sliced
- 100g burrata cheese
- 1/4 cup pistachios, chopped
- Fresh basil leaves
- Olive oil for drizzling
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 slices of your choice of bread, 1 ripe peach, 100g of burrata cheese, 1/4 cup of chopped pistachios, fresh basil leaves, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. If you prefer a crispier texture, you can also toast the bread in a toaster or an oven.
- While the skillet is heating, slice the ripe peach into thin wedges. Aim for about 6-8 slices per peach for a good presentation on the toast.
- Once the skillet is hot, place the slices of bread on it. Toast each side for about 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
- While the bread is toasting, take the burrata cheese and gently tear it into pieces. Burrata is delicate, so handle it with care to maintain its creamy texture.
- Once the bread is toasted, remove it from the skillet and place it on a serving plate. Drizzle a little olive oil over each slice while they are still warm to enhance the flavor.
- Next, layer the peach slices evenly over the toasted bread. You can arrange them in a fan shape or simply place them in a single layer, depending on your preference.
- Now, add the torn pieces of burrata on top of the peach slices, ensuring each toast has a generous portion of the creamy cheese.
- Sprinkle the chopped pistachios over the burrata and peaches for a delightful crunch and nutty flavor.
- Finish the dish by adding fresh basil leaves on top for a burst of freshness. Season with a pinch of salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste.
- Drizzle a little more olive oil over the top if desired, and serve immediately while the toast is warm and the flavors are vibrant.
Tips
- Choose the Right Bread: Opt for a hearty bread like sourdough or ciabatta to hold up against the toppings and add extra flavor. A good quality bread will elevate the entire dish.
- Perfect Peach Selection: Ensure your peaches are perfectly ripe for the best flavor. They should be slightly soft to the touch and fragrant. If they’re not ripe yet, you can leave them at room temperature for a couple of days.
- Burrata Handling: When handling burrata, be gentle! Use your fingers to tear it into pieces rather than cutting it with a knife to maintain its creamy texture.
- Toasting Tips: If you prefer an even crispier toast, consider using a grill pan or broiler for the bread. Just keep an eye on it to prevent burning!
- Customization: Feel free to get creative! Add a drizzle of honey or balsamic glaze for extra sweetness, or swap out the pistachios for walnuts or almonds if you prefer a different nutty flavor.
- Serving Fresh: This dish is best served immediately while the bread is warm and the flavors are fresh. If you’re preparing it for guests, have all the ingredients ready to assemble quickly.
- Garnishing: Don’t skip the final drizzle of olive oil and seasoning! A little extra olive oil and a sprinkle of salt and pepper can elevate the flavors to new heights.
