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.
