Print Recipe

A simple yet elegant dish featuring roasted nectarines glazed with honey and balsamic vinegar, topped with creamy burrata and fresh basil. Perfect as a light appetizer or dessert that balances sweet, tangy, and creamy flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe nectarines, halved and pitted
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 8 ounces fresh burrata cheese
  • About 12 fresh basil leaves, torn or chiffonade
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Rinse and dry the nectarines. Slice each nectarine in half, carefully remove the pit, and pat dry with a paper towel.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, and 1 tablespoon olive oil until smooth and shiny.
  4. Arrange nectarines cut side up on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, spaced evenly.
  5. Brush or drizzle the honey-balsamic glaze evenly over each nectarine half.
  6. Roast in the oven for about 18-20 minutes until nectarines soften and the glaze caramelizes to a rich amber color. If browning too fast, lower the temperature by 25°F (15°C).
  7. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
  8. Place roasted nectarines on a serving platter or individual plates. Tear the burrata into chunks and scatter over the warm fruit.
  9. Sprinkle fresh basil leaves evenly on top.
  10. Season with a pinch of sea salt and optional black pepper.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the baking sheet to avoid steaming the nectarines. Use ripe but firm nectarines for best results. Burrata can be substituted with fresh mozzarella or vegan burrata-style cheese. Serve warm within 30 minutes for optimal texture and flavor. Toasted nuts like pine nuts or almonds can be added for extra crunch.
