- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, roughly torn or whole

- Optional: sprinkle of toasted pine nuts
Instructions
- Rinse and dry peaches, then slice into about 1/4-inch thick wedges.
- Pat burrata dry with a paper towel and place in the center of a serving plate. Let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes if cold.
- Fan peach slices around the burrata, layering torn basil leaves between them.
- If making your own hot honey, gently warm 2 tablespoons honey with a pinch of chili flakes over low heat for 1-2 minutes without boiling.

- Scatter flaky sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper on top. Add optional lemon juice or toasted pine nuts if desired.

Notes
Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid mushiness. Let burrata come to room temperature for creamier texture. Warm honey gently to infuse chili flavor without burning. Serve fresh for best texture and flavor. Optional toppings like lemon juice or pine nuts add brightness and crunch.
