Ingredients
  

For the Crostini Base
  • 1 loaf Sourdough or French Baguette Works beautifully as a crunchy foundation; a baguette offers a denser texture.
  • 2 tablespoons Melted Butter Helps the cheese adhere; can substitute with olive oil for a lighter option.
For the Cheese Mixture
  • ½ cup Grated Parmesan Cheese Adds umami depth and flavor; substitute with aged Asiago for a unique twist.
  • ½ cup Grated Pecorino Cheese Provides a sharp, salty contrast; more Parmesan or Grana Padano works well.
  • 2 cloves Garlic (finely grated) Infuses a delightful flavor; fresh minced garlic can be used instead.
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh Thyme Leaves Aromatic herbaceous note; oregano or basil are great substitutes.
For the Toppings
  • 4 ounces Prosciutto Offers a savory element; substitute with cured ham or bacon.
  • 8 ounces Burrata Cheese The star ingredient; mozzarella can be a lighter alternative.
  • 2 ripe Peaches (thinly sliced) Balance savory notes with sweetness; nectarines can be used if unavailable.
  • 2 tablespoons Hot Honey Drizzled on top to elevate flavors; regular honey with chili flakes can do the trick.
  • 1 cup Fresh Basil Leaves Adds freshness; arugula or mint can also work as a garnish.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine grated Parmesan and Pecorino cheeses, finely grated garlic, fresh thyme leaves, melted butter, and a sprinkle of black pepper. Mix thoroughly.
  3. Spread a generous layer of the cheese mixture onto each slice of the sourdough or French baguette. Place on the lined baking sheet.
  4. Lay the prosciutto on or around the slices of bread.
  5. Bake the crostini for 15-20 minutes until edges are golden, cheese is bubbling, and prosciutto is crisp.
  6. Transfer crostini to a serving platter, spoon burrata over the bread, and arrange sliced peaches and remaining prosciutto on top.
  7. Drizzle hot honey over the top before serving.
