Warm the honey with the red pepper flakes in a small pan over low heat for 2 minutes, then set aside to infuse into hot honey.
Serves 6
Ingredients
- 1 baguette, sliced on the bias into 18 pieces
- 3 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
- 8 oz burrata cheese
- 6 slices prosciutto, torn into ribbons
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, torn
- 1 tsp flaky sea salt
- 1/2 tsp cracked black pepper
Instructions
- Warm the honey with the red pepper flakes in a small pan over low heat for 2 minutes, then set aside to infuse into hot honey.
- Brush the baguette slices with olive oil and grill over medium-high heat until golden and crisp with light char marks, about 1 minute per side.
- Brush the peach halves with the remaining oil and grill cut-side down until caramelized and grill-marked, about 3 minutes, then slice into wedges.
- Tear the burrata into rough pieces and spoon a generous amount onto each grilled crostini.
- Top with a few grilled peach wedges and a ribbon of prosciutto.
- Drizzle each crostini with the warm hot honey and scatter over the torn basil.
- Finish with a pinch of flaky salt and cracked black pepper.
- Arrange on a platter and serve while the bread is still warm and the cheese is creamy.
- This crostini captures the Italian genius for balancing a few perfect ingredients: the salty prosciutto, the milky burrata, the smoky sweetness of grilled summer peaches. A drizzle of chili-infused honey ties it together with gentle heat, turning a simple piece of toast into the appetizer everyone crowds around at a warm-weather gathering.
