A quick and easy bruschetta featuring a fresh, sweet-savory topping of diced tomatoes and peaches, topped with creamy burrata cheese on toasted baguette slices. Perfect for a light appetizer or snack that celebrates summer flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups diced fresh tomatoes (about 4 medium ripe tomatoes, Roma or vine-ripened preferred)
  • 2 medium ripe peaches, peeled and diced
  • 8 oz creamy burrata cheese (about 225g)
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
  • 1 large garlic clove, minced
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • Salt to taste (about 1/2 teaspoon)
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste (about 1/4 teaspoon)
  • 1 loaf baguette or rustic bread, sliced and toasted

Instructions

  1. Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices. Toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side or under a broiler for 1-2 minutes per side until golden and crisp. Set aside to cool slightly.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine diced tomatoes and peaches. Add minced garlic and chopped basil. Drizzle with 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil and 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Gently toss to blend flavors without mashing the fruit and vegetables.
  3. Tear the burrata into bite-sized pieces or gently slice it. Let burrata come to room temperature for best creamy texture.
  4. Spoon a generous amount of the tomato-peach mixture onto each toasted bread slice. Top with a piece of creamy burrata. Optionally, drizzle a little more olive oil over the assembled bruschetta.
  5. Garnish with a few fresh basil leaves or microgreens. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of warm toast and cool toppings.

Notes

Use firm, ripe peaches and tomatoes to avoid soggy topping. Toast bread well to hold juicy topping. Let burrata come to room temperature before assembling for best texture. Prepare topping ahead and refrigerate, but add burrata just before serving. Substitute nectarines for peaches if out of season. For dairy-free, use cashew-based cheese or vegan mozzarella. Add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
