This grilled nectarine and burrata crostini features smoky grilled nectarines, creamy burrata cheese, and a sweet honey drizzle, creating a quick and elegant appetizer perfect for summer gatherings or simple indulgence.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe nectarines, halved and pitted
  • 8 ounces fresh burrata cheese
  • 1 baguette or rustic bread, sliced into 1/2-inch thick rounds
  • 2 tablespoons honey (preferably mild floral variety)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • A small handful fresh basil leaves, torn (optional)
  • Pinch of flaky sea salt
  • Fresh cracked black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat, about 400°F (205°C).
  2. Halve and pit the nectarines. Brush the cut sides lightly with olive oil.
  3. Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices. Brush both sides lightly with olive oil.
  4. Place nectarines cut side down on the grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes until char marks appear and fruit softens slightly. Flip and grill the skin side for another 2 minutes.
  5. While nectarines grill, place bread slices on the grill or grill pan. Toast about 1-2 minutes per side until golden and crisp.
  6. On each toasted bread slice, tear or slice some burrata and layer it generously. Top with grilled nectarine halves (cut side up).
  7. Mix honey with a teaspoon of olive oil for a silky drizzle. Drizzle over each crostini.
  8. Scatter torn fresh basil leaves on top. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
  9. Serve immediately while warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Chill burrata briefly before slicing for cleaner edges. For extra flavor, swipe balsamic glaze on bread before adding burrata. Keep grilled nectarines and toasted bread separate if storing to avoid sogginess. Use gluten-free bread for gluten-free adaptation. Vegan version possible with plant-based cheese and maple syrup instead of honey.
