Notes
As always, if you have celiac disease or are on a gluten-free diet, check the product packaging or contact manufacturer's instructions as recipe formulas change and so do manufacturing practices.
To make this recipe vegetarian, omit the prosciutto.
If you do not have a grill, you can use a grill pan instead and cook the peaches on the stove top. You can also use fresh, raw peaches if they are ripe and juicy if you prefer.
You can find balsamic glaze in your local grocery store. It is thicker than balsamic vinegar and slightly sweeter.
Use a good quality olive oil so that you can taste the flavor. I prefer an extra virgin olive oil that is strong and a little nutty in flavor. Personally, I don't think light olive oils have enough flavor.
You can use burrata or baby burrata for this recipe. You're going to want to spoon the burrata into chunks so either works. I use either depending on what is available to me at my local grocery store.
You can find burrata at your grocery store near the fresh cheeses. It's typically right next to the fresh mozzarella.
