Method
 

Preparation
  1. Gently rinse peaches and tomatoes, then slice peaches into thin wedges and tomatoes into hearty rounds.
  2. On a large serving plate, alternate slices of peach and tomato in a loose circle or rustic stack.
  3. Tear the burrata into pieces and nestle the creamy bits between the fruit and tomato slices.
  4. Tuck torn basil leaves in between slices.
  5. Drizzle olive oil over the plate, followed by the balsamic glaze in a zigzag. Sprinkle sea salt and cracked black pepper to taste.

Notes

Best enjoyed fresh, as burrata loses its creaminess over time. Store components separately and assemble just before serving. Grilled peaches can offer a smoky twist, and toasted nuts can add crunch.
