Grilled Nectarines with Burrata, Basil and Prosciutto
Grilling fruit caramelizes its natural sugars, giving the fruit a warm depth of flavor. In this case, grilling develops an almost cobbler-like flavor in these nectarines!
If you’re looking for a summery, elegant, unique and flavor-packed appetizer for happy hour, this is it. Paired with the savory prosciutto, the creamy burrata and the herbaceous basil, you get a summer dish that’s simply divine served with a glass of chilled wine.
If you’re looking for a dairy-free option, you can make this without the burrata.
