Recipe at a Glance
Course: Breakfast / Brunch
Servings: 1 (easily multiplied)
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
Dietary: Vegetarian, Gluten-Free Option
Best Season: Summer (peak peach season)
Ingredients
For the Caramelized Peaches:
1 large ripe peach, cut into thick slices
1-2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
For Assembly:
1 slice gluten-free sourdough bread (or regular sourdough)
1 burrata ball (about 4 oz)
Mike's Hot Honey (for drizzling)
Peach Selection Tip: Choose peaches that yield slightly to gentle pressure but aren't overly soft. They should smell fragrant at the stem end.
Instructions
1. Caramelize the Peaches
Heat olive oil or butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add peach slices in a single layer and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and slightly caramelized. The natural sugars will create beautiful golden edges while keeping the center tender.
2. Toast the Bread
While peaches cook, toast your sourdough slice until golden brown and crispy. The contrast between crispy bread and creamy toppings is essential to this dish.
3. Prepare the Burrata
Gently tear the burrata ball into generous pieces, allowing some of the creamy center to spill out. This creates beautiful, rustic presentation and ensures every bite has that luxurious creaminess.
4. Assemble Your Masterpiece
Spread the torn burrata across the toasted bread, creating a creamy base. Arrange the warm caramelized peach slices on top, overlapping slightly for visual appeal.
5. Add the Finishing Touches
Sprinkle the Carrot Turmeric Garden Granola generously over the toast, allowing some pieces to fall artfully around the plate. Drizzle with Mike's Hot Honey to taste—the heat beautifully balances the sweet peaches and rich cheese.
6. Serve Immediately
Enjoy while the toast is still crispy and the peaches are warm. The contrast of temperatures and textures makes this dish truly special.
Why This Recipe Works
The magic of this toast lies in the balance of flavors and textures. Sweet, caramelized peaches provide natural summer flavor, while creamy burrata adds richness without being heavy. Our Carrot Turmeric Garden Granola brings warm spices—turmeric's earthiness and subtle heat—plus a satisfying crunch that elevates this from simple toast to restaurant-quality brunch fare.
The key is using ripe, in-season peaches. When properly caramelized, they become jammy and concentrated, creating natural sweetness that pairs beautifully with the mild, milky flavor of burrata. The hot honey adds just enough heat to keep things interesting without overwhelming the delicate flavors.
