Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 baguette, sliced
- 1 cup burrata cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 ripe peaches, sliced
- 1/4 cup hot honey
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Slice the baguette diagonally into 1/2-inch thick pieces. Arrange the bread slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Lightly brush each bread slice with olive oil on both sides. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of each slice.
- Bake the crostini in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes.
- While the crostini are cooling, wash and slice the ripe peaches into thin, even pieces. Choose peaches that are ripe but still firm for the best texture.
- Carefully spread a generous dollop of burrata cheese on each crostini, creating a creamy base for the peaches.
- Arrange the peach slices artfully on top of the burrata, slightly overlapping for an elegant presentation.
- Drizzle hot honey generously over the topped crostini, allowing it to cascade over the peaches and cheese.
- Garnish with fresh basil leaves, tearing them gently to release their aromatic oils just before serving.
- Serve immediately while the crostini are still warm and the cheese is soft and creamy. Best enjoyed fresh as an appetizer or light summer snack.
Tips
- Choose the Right Peaches: Opt for ripe but firm peaches to ensure they hold their shape when sliced and provide the perfect balance of sweetness and texture.
- Perfectly Toasted Crostini: Keep an eye on your crostini as they bake; every oven is different! You want them golden brown and crispy, but not burnt.
- Hot Honey Variation: If you prefer a milder flavor, you can mix regular honey with a pinch of red pepper flakes to create your own version of hot honey.
- Basil Freshness: Tear the basil leaves just before serving to maximize their aroma and flavor. Fresh herbs make a significant difference in the overall taste!
- Serving Suggestions: These crostini are best served warm, so prepare them right before your guests arrive for that fresh, melt-in-your-mouth experience.
