💡 Pro Tips

  • Swap balsamic: Try apricot jam or honey-sweetened glaze for non-alcoholic options.

Variations to Try

  • Add smoked chicken strips for extra protein.
  • Use feta cheese for a tangy twist.
  • Sprinkle toasted walnuts for crunch.

FAQ

  • Why grill peaches? Grilling caramelizes their sugars, creating a contrasting texture with the creamy burrata.
  • Can I skip the grill? Yes! Sauté peaches in a pan with a splash of water until tender.
  • Non-alcoholic substitution? Replace balsamic glaze with lemon-herb dressing if preferred.
