Print Recipe

A quick and easy summer snack featuring crispy baguette slices topped with ripe peaches, salty prosciutto, and creamy burrata cheese, finished with fresh basil and a drizzle of olive oil.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Baguette or Italian bread, sliced into ½-inch thick pieces
  • 2 medium ripe peaches, thinly sliced
  • 4–6 ounces prosciutto, thinly sliced
  • 8 ounces burrata cheese, fresh and creamy
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Small handful fresh basil leaves, torn
  • Honey, optional, for drizzling (1-2 teaspoons)
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Pinch of sea salt, if needed

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Slice the baguette into ½-inch thick pieces and arrange on a baking sheet in a single layer.
  3. Brush each slice lightly with extra virgin olive oil.
  4. Toast the bread in the oven for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until edges are browned but not burnt.
  5. While the bread is toasting, thinly slice the peaches about ⅛-inch thick.
  6. Remove toasted bread from oven and let cool slightly.
  7. Spread or dollop burrata cheese generously on each crostini.
  8. Layer the sliced peaches evenly on top of the burrata.
  9. Drape a slice or two of prosciutto over the peaches.
  10. Scatter torn basil leaves on top.
  11. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle freshly ground black pepper.
  12. Optionally, drizzle honey over the crostini.
  13. Serve immediately while bread is crisp and flavors are fresh.

Notes

Keep a close eye on the bread while toasting to avoid over-toasting. Use a sharp serrated knife for thin, neat slices of peaches and bread. Let burrata sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before assembling for creaminess. Optionally brush bread with garlic-infused olive oil or add crushed red pepper flakes for extra flavor. Assemble crostini just before serving to maintain crispness.
