Instructions
Prepare the Tomato Confit
Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C). In a baking dish, combine cherry tomatoes, garlic slices, and thyme sprigs. Drizzle with 1/4 cup olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake for 40 minutes until tomatoes are soft and bursting.
Pro tip: This can be made ahead and stored in the fridge.
Grill the Peaches
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Brush peach halves with olive oil. Place on the grill, cut side down. Grill for 3-4 minutes, until grill marks appear. Remove from heat.
Pro tip: Use ripe but firm peaches for best results.
Prepare the Burrata
Carefully cut the burrata ball into quarters, allowing the creamy interior to remain intact.
Pro tip: Handle gently to maintain its shape.
Assemble the Dish
On a serving platter, arrange grilled peach halves and burrata pieces. Spoon tomato confit over the top.
Pro tip: Drizzle with additional olive oil for extra flavour.
Season and Serve
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle with a bit more olive oil if desired. Serve immediately.
Pro tip: Serve with crusty bread to soak up the juices.
Tips & Tricks

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use canned tomatoes instead of fresh cherry tomatoes for the confit?
Yes, you can use canned tomatoes, but drain them well before using to avoid excess liquid in the confit.
How can I tell when the tomatoes are done confiting?
The tomatoes are done when they are soft, slightly shriveled, and have absorbed the flavors of the garlic and thyme, usually after 45 minutes at a low temperature.
Can I prepare any components of this dish in advance?
Yes, you can make the tomato confit up to 3 days in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Bring it to room temperature before serving.
What's the best way to grill peaches without them sticking to the grill?
Ensure the grill is preheated and well-oiled before placing the peaches. You can also brush the peach halves lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.
How should I store leftovers of this dish?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat the confit gently on the stove, and bring the burrata to room temperature before serving again.
