Scale
- 4 firm, ripe nectarines
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 (8 ounce) ball fresh burrata cheese, drained
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Prepare your grill for medium heat. Lightly oil the grates.
- Cut the nectarines in half lengthwise and remove the pits.
- Brush the cut sides of the nectarines lightly with olive oil.
- Place the nectarines cut-side down on the hot grill. Grill for 3 to 4 minutes until grill marks appear and the fruit softens slightly.

- Tear the burrata into large pieces and place them among the warm nectarine halves.
- Drizzle the honey evenly over the fruit and cheese.

- If you do not have a grill, you can sear the nectarines in a hot cast iron skillet with the olive oil.
- This dish works well as a light dessert or a vegetarian appetizer idea.
