# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The contrast between warm grilled peaches and cool, creamy burrata feels indulgent but takes barely 20 minutes from start to finish.
  • It tastes like you spent hours perfecting it when really you just let good ingredients do the talking.
  • Vegetarian, naturally gluten-free, and elegant enough for company yet simple enough for a Tuesday night dinner.
02 -
  • Don't skip the cooling step after grilling or your delicate burrata will turn into a puddle, but don't let the peaches get completely cold either because you want that textural contrast.
  • Burrata is sold in plastic tubs with liquid to keep it fresh, but that doesn't mean you should serve it swimming in its own whey, so drain and pat gently dry before tearing.
03 -
  • Oil your grill grates or grill pan right before cooking to prevent peaches from sticking, which ruins both the look and your mood.
  • If your peaches are slightly under-ripe, the grilling and honey combination will still work magic, but truly ripe peaches with fragrant skin will reward you with deeper flavor and better texture.
