🍑 Prosciutto-Wrapped Peaches Recipe | Grilled Peaches with Burrata & Hot Honey
🍑 Grilled Peaches with Burrata, Prosciutto & Hot Honey on a Gas BBQ
Barbecues aren't just about cooking meat. Fresh seasonal fruit takes on an incredible flavour over the grill, becoming sweeter, softer and lightly caramelised with just a few minutes of cooking.
This recipe pairs grilled peaches with creamy burrata, crispy prosciutto, peppery rocket and a drizzle of hot honey for a dish that's as impressive as it is easy to prepare. It works beautifully as a starter, part of a sharing board or a light summer lunch, making it ideal for relaxed afternoons in the garden.
A gas BBQ offers excellent temperature control, allowing the peaches to caramelise without overcooking while crisping the prosciutto to perfection.
