Peach Burrata Crostini with Cherry Tomato Vinaigrette
PREP TIME 15 Min
TOTAL COOK TIME 10 Min
SERVES 4-6 People
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 1 pkg (12 oz) Nature Fresh Farms® Dramas™ Tomatoes
(about 3 cups) - 2 sprigs fresh thyme, plus more for garnish
- 2 tsp honey
- Large pinch red pepper flakes, optional
- 2 tbsp white wine vinegar
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 baguette (about 20 inches)
- 1 large ball fresh burrata cheese (about 8 oz), drained and torn in pieces
- 2 ripe peaches, thinly sliced
Directions
Step 1
Wash all produce before preparing your meal.
Step 2
Cherry Tomato Vinaigrette: In a wide saucepan bring 5 tbsp of the olive oil, the cherry tomatoes, thyme, honey and red pepper flakes (if using) to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer tomatoes, gently shaking pan occasionally, until tomatoes just begin to burst their skins, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in vinegar; season to taste with salt and pepper. Let cool slightly.
Step 3
Preheat oven to 425°F. Slice baguette in half lengthwise in half and crosswise into 5 or 6 pieces, for a total of 10 to 12 pieces. Brush remaining 3 tbsp olive oil on cut side of bread; place pieces, olive oil side up, in single layer on a baking sheet. Bake until toasted and golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes.
Step 4
Place crostini on a large serving tray; top with some of the burrata cheese and sliced peaches. Spoon some of the tomatoes and their juices on top. Garnish with additional thyme.
Chef's Tips
Baguette can be replaced with sliced and toasted sourdough bread, while burrata can be swapped out for mascarpone cheese, if desired.
