Grilled Nectarines with Burrata and Honey

Summer is in full swing, and that means it’s time for fresh, juicy fruit! One of my favorite ways to enjoy nectarines is by grilling them. When you throw them on the grill, the heat brings out their natural sweetness, and you can’t help but savor that first bite. The caramelized edges and warm, juicy center are simply irresistible.

But here’s a little secret: sometimes I struggle with getting the perfect grill marks. I’ve had my fair share of grilled fruit that didn’t look quite right. It took a bit of practice, but I’ve learned that getting the grill nice and hot before placing the fruit helps. A little patience goes a long way!

This dish is so easy to whip up, and the combination of nectarines and burrata is something special. You’ll love how the creamy burrata pairs with the sweet, warm nectarines. Drizzling a bit of honey on top just makes it all come together beautifully. You have to try it!

As a little kitchen tip, make sure to let your burrata sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving. It really brings out that creaminess, making every bite even more delicious. Trust me, this dish is a simple way to impress at any summer meal.

How to Make

1. Prep the Grill

Start by preheating your grill to a medium-high heat. You want it nice and hot before you add the fruit.

2. Cut Nectarines

Slice the nectarines in half and remove the pits. You can leave the skin on for added flavor and texture.

3. Grill Nectarines

Place the halved nectarines cut-side down on the grill. Let them cook for a few minutes until you see nice grill marks.

4. Flip and Finish

Carefully flip the nectarines over to warm the other side. Cook them for just a minute or two more, so they stay juicy.

5. Prepare Burrata

While the nectarines are grilling, take the burrata out of the fridge. Let it sit on the counter to soften up.

6. Assemble and Serve

Once the nectarines are done, take them off the grill. Place the warm nectarines on a plate, tear the burrata, and place it on top. Drizzle with honey.

What to Serve With

Pair these grilled nectarines with a light salad for a refreshing meal. Arugula or mixed greens work well for a simple side.

Serve alongside grilled chicken or fish for a balanced dinner. The sweetness of the nectarines adds a lovely touch to savory dishes.

How to Store

Store any leftover grilled nectarines and burrata in separate airtight containers. Keep them in the fridge to maintain freshness.

You can enjoy the nectarines cold the next day or warm them up a bit. Burrata should stay outside the fridge before eating it.

Recipe Variations and Add-ins

You can swap nectarines for peaches for a different flavor and texture. Both fruits are delicious when grilled.

Add a sprinkle of fresh mint for a refreshing twist. It really brightens up the dish and adds a lovely aroma.

Try using different types of honey for added flavor. Local honey or infused varieties can change things up nicely.
