Ultimate Burrata Board
With summer about to leave us, how about this Ultimate Burrata Board to celebrate the end of the season? Ripe cherries, fresh peaches, gorgeous heirloom tomatoes and creamy burrata all combine to make this the easiest and most delightful appetizer I’ve served in a long time!
The beauty is that it is interchangeable with other fruit, meat and herbs. Feel free to use nectarines, melon and plums, salami and jamon, oregano…you get the idea!
Begin by framing the top and the bottom of the board with peach slices and tomato wedges. In between, lay out the burrata. Slice it open and spread it out. The creamy filling will spill out onto the board which makes it easier to scoop onto crackers. Drizzle the burrata with olive oil, salt and freshly ground pepper.
Lay the prosciutto next to the burrata. I like to fold a slice back and forth to create a ribbon. Center cherry halves in the middle of the board.
Sprinkle basil on the cherries and mint leaves on the peaches. Serve with crackers or toasted country bread. Enjoy!

Ultimate Burrata Board
Makes: 6 servings
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients
- 2 balls burrata cheese
- 2 ripe peaches, cut into uniform wedges
- 2 heirloom tomatoes, cut into uniform wedges like the tomatoes
- 2 cups ripe cherries, pitted and sliced
- 3 ounces prosciutto
- Basil leaves
- Mint leaves
- Olive Oil
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground pepper
Instructions
Place tomatoes at the bottom of the board. Lay peaches at the top of the board.
Place two rows of burrata (1 ball each, which likely means two containers of burrata). Cut the burrata balls on the board so that the delicious creamy inside was still sitting inside some of the mozzarella outer shell. Drizzle burrata with olive oil and sprinkle salt + pepper
Lay out the prosciutto. Pre-cut pieces in half width wise, so it’s easier to serve. In order to make the presentation look pretty, simply place the bottom end of the prosciutto slices and have the rest ripple down to create a subtle ribbon look.
Add basil on top of the tomatoes and mint on top of the peaches. Sprinkle with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper. Serve with crackers or toasted bread.
