GRILLED PROSCIUTTO-WRAPPED PEACHES WITH BURRATA AND BASIL

Grilled Prosciutto-Wrapped Peaches with Burrata and Basil image

There are many people, myself included, that think cooking prosciutto is basically a crime against nature; but there are exceptions, and this plate of grilled peaches with burrata is one incredibly delicious example. Serve as an appetizer or a sweet/savory dessert.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

2 ripe, sweet (but not soft) freestone peaches
3 thin slices prosciutto, or more as needed, torn into ribbons
8 small bamboo skewers, soaked in water 20 minutes
6 ounces burrata cheese
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling
Coarse sea salt to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon finely sliced fresh basil leaves

Steps:

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
Cut peaches in half and remove peach stones. Cut each half in half again.
Wrap prosciutto around each peach section; secure with small bamboo skewers.
Grill peaches, turning often, until prosciutto gets a little crisp around the edges and the peaches begin to caramelize, about 6 minutes.
To serve, spoon burrata onto serving plates. Remove peaches from skewers; place several of the grilled peaches around the cheese. Drizzle with olive oil. Top with a sprinkle of sea salt and pepper; garnish with basil.
