Summer entertaining calls for easy but delicious snacks utilizing the best of summer produce. Anyone who knows me well knows that I'm a sucker for a sweet and savory combo, so any appetizer I'm serving is going to be filled with sweet summer fruit, savory cheese, and something just a little indulgent. A sweet and savory bruschetta like this peach bruschetta with burrata, prosciutto, honey, and a sprinkle of sea salt is my ideal summer app when friends come over for a little summer happy hour.

What Is Bruschetta (And How Do You Say It?)

First a little culinary lesson. Bruschetta (pronounced 'broo-SKET-uh') is an appetizer that consists of bread that is brushed with olive oil and toasted or grilled, then traditionally topped with a mixture of fresh tomato, basil, olive oil and garlic. However, it can be topped with anything, or not at all. I like to get creative with my toppings, like in this peach, prosciutto and burrata version.

Why You'll Love This Peach Bruschetta

This peach bruschetta is the perfect contrast of crunchy and creamy, salty and sweet. It's easy to make and is the perfect appetizer for a summer happy hour or dinner party. Bread, cheese, meat, and fruit all in one bite? What more could you want? It pairs perfectly with a crisp white wine or rosé. Add a salad and call it dinner!

How To Make Peach Bruschetta with Prosciutto and Burrata

1. First make the toast by drizzling or brushing your favorite bread with olive oil. Then toast bread in the oven at 400°F or on the grill over medium heat until warm and golden.
2. Pinch off pieces of burrata and spread on each piece of toast.
3. Top each toast with a slice of prosciutto and a few peach slices. Then sprinkle with sea salt and drizzle with honey. Garnish with baby arugula or a bit of fresh basil.

Can Bruschetta Be Made In Advance?

I don't recommend making this peach bruschetta in advance, as the toast will get soggy and peaches will start to brown.

Recipe Variations

The great thing about bruschetta is that there are so many ways you can go with it! Change up the recipe to suit your taste and what you have on hand. A few suggestions:

• Switch out the burrata for creamy goat cheese, ricotta or sliced fresh mozzarella
• Leave off the prosciutto for a vegetarian version, or try cry crumbling crispy cooked bacon on top instead
• Try grilling the peaches for a little bit of a smoky flavor
• Drizzle with a balsamic reduction instead of honey
