Ingredients
3 large ripe peaches
8 oz fresh mozzarella
1 cup fresh basil leaves
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp balsamic glaze
Sea salt to taste
Instructions
Wash the peaches thoroughly, dry them, and slice them into thin wedges removing pits.
Drain the mozzarella, pat dry, and slice into half-inch rounds or bite-sized cubes.
Arrange peach wedges and mozzarella pieces alternately on a serving platter.
Interleave fresh basil leaves between the layers of peaches and cheese.
Drizzle evenly with quality extra virgin olive oil to coat.
Finish with a light drizzle of balsamic glaze.
Sprinkle lightly with sea salt before serving.
Notes
Ensure peaches are firm but fragrant for the best texture. Hand-tearing the basil leaves helps prevent browning compared to knife cuts. Use a high-quality balsamic reduction for better thickness and flavor depth.
