Sugar Roasted Peaches And Burrata Cheese Plate Food

PEACHES WITH BURRATA AND PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Toss 2 peaches (cut into wedges) with 2 teaspoons white balsamic vinegar and a pinch each of sugar, salt and pepper. Let stand 10 minutes.

Drizzle with olive oil; sprinkle with flaky salt, pepper, torn mint and chopped chives.

ROASTED PEACHES WITH CITY HAM, WILD ARUGULA, BURRATA AND SORGHUM VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Whisk together the balsamic vinegar, sorghum syrup, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika and some salt and pepper in a medium bowl until smooth. Slowly whisk in the oil until emulsified. Set aside.
• Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Brush some of the sorghum vinaigrette on the cut sides of the peaches and put them, cut-side down, in the hot skillet. Cook just until the vinaigrette caramelizes, about 2 minutes.
• Transfer the peaches, cut-side up, to a serving platter and arrange slices of burrata around them. Scatter the ham over and around the peaches and burrata, then scatter the arugula on top. Drizzle with a bit more sorghum vinaigrette and grind some black pepper over the top. Serve immediately.

SUGAR ROASTED PEACHES AND BURRATA CHEESE PLATE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F and position a rack in the center of your oven.
• Cook the bacon in a cast iron skillet, over medium heat and flipping occasionally, until crisp, 5 to 8 minutes; drain on paper toweling.
• Pour off the fat from the skillet, but reserve 2 teaspoons of the fat (make up any difference with olive oil).
• Meanwhile, sprinkle the cut side of the peaches with the sugar, a tiny pinch of salt and with pepper; place them cut side down in the skillet, tuck the herbs around them.
• Increase the heat to medium high; tear the bacon into pieces and tuck them around the peaches and drizzle with half the reserved bacon fat.
• Let the peaches cook, without moving them, until they begin to brown, about 5 minutes; sprinkle the uncut sides of the peaches with a tiny bit of salt and place in the preheated oven to roast.
• After 10 minutes, they should be just tender; drizzle with the remaining bacon fat and let roast 5 minutes more.
• Discard the herbs and save the bacon for another use; let cool slightly before serving (these can be made up to 2 days in advance and microwaved for a minute before serving).
• Place the burrata cheese in the center of a large serving platter and carefully slice the cheese to reveal the creamy center, but being careful not to slice all the way through; season lightly with salt.
• Slice the peaches into wedges and arrange them, along with the toast, around the cheese; sprinkle with the herbs, drizzle some oil and the honey over the peaches and cheese.
