Ingredients
  

  • Loaf  Fresh Italian Bread Sliced
  • 2 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Minced or Paste
  • ½ cup Balsamic Vinegar
  • 1-2 Peaches
  • ¼ cup Pesto Sauce
  • 8 oz Burrata Cheese
  • 4 oz Prosciutto Sliced in half
  • 5 leaves Fresh Basil
  • ¼ teaspoon Fresh Cracked Black Pepper Optional

Instructions
 

Balsamic Glaze Reduction

  • Prepare balsamic glaze by pouring balsamic vinegar in a small saute pan on medium/high heat.
  • Bring vinegar to a boil, reduce heat to low and let simmer until sauce thickens.
  • This steps takes between 10-15 minutes so be patient and give it time to thicken.

Baking Crostini Slices

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Slice loaf into 1-2" slices and place on a lined baking sheet.
  • Mix olive oil and garlic in a small bowl and brush slices with mixture.
  • Bake for 2-3 minutes until bread is crusty and slightly browned.

Grilling Crostini Slices

  • At the same time, if you prefer to grill your crostini, slice the bread into 1-2″ slices and brush each side with olive oil and garlic.
  • Then take a grill pan and turn your stove to medium to high heat.
  • Next, place the oiled slices on the grill and sear for 30-60 seconds on each side. At this instant, grill marks should appear letting you know the bread is cooked through!

Crostini Assembly

  • Begin by placing the toasted crostinis on your desired serving platter or tray.
  • Next, layer about ¼ teaspoon to 1 teaspoon of prepared pesto.
  • Then, layer pieces of burrata on the bread.
  • Third, layer two slices of grilled peaches and half sliced prosciutto on top of the burrata and gently fold the prosciutto on top.
  • Now, sprinkle with freshly cracked pepper if desired.
  • Meanwhile, gather your balsamic vinegar reduction or glaze.
  • Using a small spoon, slowly drizzle the balsamic glaze over each crostini.
  • Finally, top with fresh basil and enjoy!
