For even more flavor, lightly brush peach halves with olive oil and cook over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes per side. Grilled peaches add a smoky sweetness that pairs beautifully with burrata.

What Does Burrata Taste Like?
Many people assume burrata is simply fresh mozzarella, but it is actually much creamier.
Fresh burrata has an outer casing made from mozzarella, while the inside contains soft strands of cheese mixed with cream. The result is an incredibly rich and decadent burrata that melts beautifully into salads.
Combined with juicy peaches and balsamic glaze, the flavor is absolutely incredible.
