Using up the August peaches and tomatoes with a sweet Peach Burrata Crostini with Burst Cherry Tomato Vinaigrette. Burst cherry tomatoes with olive oil, garlic, and fresh thyme, served over grilled bread and topped with creamy burrata cheese, sweet peaches, and basil. These feel kind of fancy, but are so simple to make, and so amazingly GOOD.
When you’re handed a bucket full of peaches you can turn around and use them in so many ways. But today…well, you’ve just got to make these crostini, because wow…they’re good.
And when I say good, I mean they’re the best. Fresh peaches, burrata cheese, and sweet burst cherry tomatoes. All things summer, all things delicious, and all of my August favorites.
The inspiration
The inspiration came from two sources. First up, the fresh box of peaches I received from Tenerelli Orchards (located outside LA). Which, I’ve decided are the best peaches. I know everyone from Colorado is frowning on me, but I just have to be honest, these peaches are unreal.
I love to bake with peaches, sure. But these peaches are so good that you really just want to enjoy them in their rawest form. Either completely on their own, or used in a fresh way where they’re left uncooked.
Source number two, I’m obsessed with burst cherry tomatoes at the moment. For whatever reason, our summer tomatoes have not really been that amazing. But the cherry tomatoes are always good. Especially when you throw them in a crazy hot pan and let them break down to become juicy and sweet.
So I had the idea to combine the fresh peaches with the sweet burst cherry tomatoes, and now here we are. It’s an exciting day.
The details – start with that vinaigrette
Essentially, this is burst tomatoes in olive oil with garlic, herbs, lots of chili flakes, and a bit of champagne vinegar. It’s simple and super easy to make but has so much flavor.
There’s nothing like a burst cherry tomato. The high heat allows them to caramelize and become even sweeter than before. Use this vinaigrette on these crostini, of course, but also make it anytime you need a salad dressing, toast topper, or something to spoon over burrata or feta cheese.
It’s delicious and can be used in so many ways.
Make the crostini
You need some good bread. I used a sourdough baguette, but use any kind of bread you love most. Grill the bread up until it’s lightly toasted.
Now break the balls of burrata cheese over the warm bread. The cheese will slightly melt into the bread, which is obviously so delicious.
Now grab the peaches (it’s best if they’re at room temperature), thinly slice them, and then layer them over the burrata. What we’ve got right here is already delicious on its own. But the tomatoes make this even better. So spoon those peaches over top and add plenty of fresh basil.
I love these warm (of course), but these crostini are great warm or at room temperature.
Serve these as lunch, a light dinner, or as an appetizer. Either way, they’ll be well loved!

Made this for my husband and myself for our “dinner” 😄 it was amazing!! Will totally be making this again for guests as an appetizer
Hi Kathryn,
Happy Sunday!! I appreciate you making this recipe and sharing your feedback, thanks so much for making it:)

Hi Tina,
Happy Friday!!🫐🍓 I love to hear that this recipe was enjoyed, thanks a lot for your comment and making it! xT
I made this again for a potluck and once again, everyone raved about it! I made it with regular garden tomatoes, since I had used up my cherry tomatoes. Also used red wine vinegar, since that is what I had. Otherwise, I kept it the same. Even though I had a tray of them, I honestly wished I didn’t have to share! So good!
Hey Alissa,
Happy Friday!? Thanks a lot for trying this recipe out, I love to hear that it was a winner! xx
This recipe is so good! I had lots of cherry tomatoes from the garden, Michigan peaches, and my brother brought me a container of burrata. I had to make it. It was delicious and it looked so beautiful on my plate. I felt like I went to a fancy restaurant. Thanks so much!
Hey Sue,
Fantastic! I am delighted to hear that this recipe was tasty for you, thanks for making it and sharing your review:) xx
This was food porn! Amazing !!!
Hey Katie,
Amazing!! I am thrilled to hear that this recipe was enjoyed, thanks for making it and sharing your review! xxT
Such a delicious, beautiful, impressive appetizer. Grocery did not have burrata so I subbed thinly sliced fresh mozzarella slightly melted onto the grilled bread. Also turned out I was out of white balsamic but regular ‘ole white vinegar worked out just fine. Lovely fresh summer dish! I’ll try it again with the proper ingredient, but just know in a pinch those items worked out A-OK.
Hey Vanessa!
Happy Friday!!? I am thrilled to hear this recipe was enjoyed, thanks a bunch for giving it a try! xxT

Hey Alysha,
Happy Monday! I love to hear that this recipe was a winner, thanks a lot for giving it a try! xTieghan
I made this for a dinner party and my guests lost their damn minds. The only complaint I have is that this appetizer is so good that it stole the show completely, the rest of the meal got completely overshadowed. Thanks for this awesome recipe.
Hey there,
Happy Monday!! LOL Thanks a lot for giving this recipe a go, I am so glad it was a winner:) Have the best week! xx
I made this for my Mom tonight and WOW! We both loved it and will be making again. The only thing I did different was that I grilled my peaches a little before putting them on. Always love making your recipes.
Hey there,
I am so glad to hear that this recipe was enjoyed, thanks so much for giving it a try! xTieghan
Perfect summer meal! Made it with a baby kale salad, for full dinner.
Hey Jenn,
Thanks a lot for trying out this recipe. I love to hear that it was enjoyed and hope you have the best week! xTieghan
I made this tonight, and it was DELICIOUS!! My husband’s exact words: “You can make this again, it’s a 10!”
I followed your recipe exactly, with one exception ~ I used toasted Keto bread, because that’s how we roll (pardon the pun).
Next time I make it, I think I will put the tomatoes in my literally smokin’ hot cast iron pan just before the oil to minimize the initial splatter. Other than that, no changes.
Thanks for generously sharing your recipes. I’m a HUGE fan ?
Hey Mary Anne,

what is a substitute for white balsamic vinegar?
Hey Dani,
You can use champagne or white balsamic vinegar for this recipe. Please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
Made with some farmer’s market peaches…soooo good. This could be served at a top notch italian restaurant. Loved the combination of flavors.
Hey Caroline,
Awesome! I love to hear that this recipe was enjoyed and appreciate you giving it a go! Have a wonderful week:) xTieghan
Omg so yummy! We just made this and had it with Pork Chops.
Instead of champagne vinegar, we used fig white balsamic vinegar. And we didn’t have fresh thyme, so we used dried. Also, we didn’t use peaches, but it was amazing nonetheless.
