For the Crostini:

1 French baguette, sliced into ½-inch thick pieces
3 tbsp olive oil
½ tsp sea salt
½ tsp black pepper
2 ripe peaches, sliced
1 tbsp butter (for grilling peaches)
8 oz burrata cheese
Fresh basil leaves

For the Hot Honey:

¼ cup honey
½ tsp red pepper flakes

Steps

Step 1

Grill the Bread
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Brush the baguette slices with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill for about 1-2 minutes per side until golden and slightly charred. Set aside.

Grill the Peaches
Brush peach slices with melted butter. Grill for 1-2 minutes per side until caramelized and slightly soft. Remove from grill and let cool slightly.

Step 3

Make the Hot Honey
In a small saucepan, warm the honey over low heat (do not boil). Stir in red pepper flakes and apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for at least 5 minutes to infuse the flavors.

Step 4

Assemble the Crostini
Spread burrata onto the grilled crostini. Top with grilled peach slices, fresh basil, and a generous drizzle of hot honey.

Step 5

Serve & Enjoy!
Arrange the crostini on a platter and serve immediately. Watch them disappear in minutes!
