With ripe summer peaches and creamy burrata, this Burrata & Peach Toast with Thyme & Honey is the ultimate summer snack. A textural summer dream perfect for warm weather dining!
There’s something about summer that makes me crave vibrant sweet flavors and nothing captures the essence of the summer quite like ripe, juicy peaches. This Burrata & Peach Toast with Thyme & Honey is my go-to recipe when peaches are at their sweetest and most flavorful. The burrata provides a creamy base, perfectly balanced by the sweetness of summer peaches and the aromatic hint of fresh thyme. Finished with a drizzle of honey, this toast is a delightful mix of creamy, sweet, and savory that's perfect for a summer snack.
Toast is a way of life
If you haven’t figured it out by now, I’m a texture girl when it comes to food so listen, I just don’t trust people who don’t like toast. It’s the perfect crunchy vehicle for my favorite veggies and creamy cheese and it absolutely smacks on its own with a little butter. I love changing up my toppings based on the seasons but I always reach for local baked sesame wheat or sourdough loaves for my toast cravings. If you're local to SF, Josie Baker, Jane the Baker, Tartine, and Acme are my favorite bread bakers in town!
Tips for the best toast
Y’all, let me change your toast game: toast your bread in a pan. I hate the way toasters suck all of the moisture out of bread and leave behind an explosion of crumbs. I want toast to be crunchy, not dry. Skip the toaster, heat up olive oil or butter in a skillet, and pan fry your bread slice until golden brown, flip, and cook until lightly browned on the other side.
I always let my toast cool propped up on the rim of the pan for a couple of minutes before topping it so that it can cool without getting soggy underneath and isn’t so hot that it melts the toppings.
Burrata & Peach Toast with Thyme & Honey
1 serving | 10 minutes
Ingredients
1” slice of sesame bread
Olive oil
⅓ cup burrata (or follow your heart)
6 peach slices
pinch of thyme leaves
honey for drizzling
flake salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Slice your bread into a 1” thick piece.
Heat a skillet over medium, drizzle olive oil all over your bread slice (don’t hold back, coat that puppy) and place oil side down into the skillet. Cook until golden brown, flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to get the bottom crisp. Allow your toast to cool for a few minutes propped up on the side of the skillet.
Spread the burrata across the olive oil side of the toast.
Top with peach slices, drizzle with honey and garnish with the thyme leaves, flake salt and a few cranks of fresh cracked pepper.
