Looking for a sophisticated app with serious summer flavor? The Orange Hot Honey Grilled Peach & Burrata Crostini is a little sweet, a little savory and a lot of fun. You’ll love the homemade hot honey with a lively touch from Florida Orange Juice and crushed red pepper flakes, drizzled on top of the savory grilled peaches, creamy burrata and crispy baguette. We can’t get enough!

Ingredients

1 cup Florida Orange Juice
½ cup honey
⅛ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 to 2 baguettes or 1 ciabatta loaf (about 1 pound / 450g total), cut on the diagonal into ½-inch slices (about 16 slices)
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
3 ripe but firm peaches, each cut into 6 to 8 wedges
2 (8-ounce) balls fresh burrata (16 oz total)
¼ cup fresh basil leaves, torn
½ teaspoon flaky sea salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

In a small saucepan over medium heat, simmer the orange juice until reduced to about 3 tablespoons of syrupy concentrate, 10-12 minutes. Stir in the honey, fine sea salt, and crushed red pepper flakes and warm for 1 minute, until smooth and pourable. Remove from heat.
Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Brush the baguette slices on both sides with 2 tablespoons of the extra-virgin olive oil. Grill until lightly charred with grill marks, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Set aside.
Brush the cut sides of the peach wedges with the remaining 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil. Grill cut-side down until caramelized with clear grill marks, 2-3 minutes per side. In the last minute of grilling, brush the peaches with about 2 tablespoons of the OJ hot honey to glaze. Work in batches as needed to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Tear the burrata and mound about 1 ounce onto each grilled baguette slice. Top with 1-2 grilled peach wedges. Drizzle with the remaining OJ hot honey, then finish with torn basil, flaky sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Serve immediately.
