Comments

Roasted Tomato Peach Burrata Dip is an easy summer appetizer that combines sweet roasted peaches, juicy cherry tomatoes, creamy burrata, fresh herbs, and balsamic glaze. It’s simple enough for a weeknight but beautiful enough to serve when you’re entertaining.

The oven does most of the work, bringing out the natural sweetness of the peaches while the tomatoes release their juices to create an incredible base for the burrata. Serve everything warm with toasted crostini, sliced baguette, crackers, or pita chips for an appetizer that disappears fast.

Fresh From the Farmers Market

Every week during the summer, you’ll find me at our local farmers market picking up fresh peaches and tomatoes. I always come home with more than I planned because everything looks too good to leave behind. It’s one of my favorite parts of the season, and I love finding new ways to use whatever comes home with me.

This Roasted Tomato Peach Burrata Dip started after one of those trips. I had beautiful peaches, sweet cherry tomatoes, and fresh herbs sitting on the counter, and roasting them together just made sense. The peaches become even sweeter, the tomatoes turn soft and jammy, and the creamy burrata brings it all together with fresh basil, mint, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze.

I usually serve it with toasted crostini before dinner when friends come over, but honestly, I’ve also called it dinner with a loaf of crusty bread. Either way, it’s one recipe I look forward to making every peach season.

Ingredients Needed

One of my favorite things about this recipe is how a handful of simple ingredients turn into something that looks beautiful on the table. Since there are only a few ingredients, this is the perfect time to use ripe, in-season produce if you can find it.

  • Fresh peaches are the star of this recipe. Roasting brings out even more sweetness while keeping them soft without falling apart.when fresh peaches aren’t in season. Just thaw them completely and pat them dry before roasting.
  • Cherry tomatoes are naturally sweet and become soft and jammy in the oven. As they roast, they release flavorful juices that mix with the peaches to create the perfect base for the burrata.
  • Burrata Cheese has a fresh mozzarella shell with a rich, creamy center that spreads beautifully over the warm peaches and tomatoes. Let it sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes before serving for the best texture.
  • Olive oil helps everything roast evenly while adding richness to the finished dish.
  • Balsamic glaze adds the perfect balance of sweetness and acidity. Since it’s thicker than traditional balsamic vinegar, it clings to the peaches, tomatoes, and burrata instead of running off the plate.
  • Fresh basil adds a bright, savory flavor that pairs perfectly with both the peaches and tomatoes.
  • Fresh mint gives the appetizer a fresh finish that keeps every bite light and balanced.
  • Kosher salt enhances the sweetness of the peaches and tomatoes while bringing all of the flavors together.

Best Peaches to Use

During peach season, I always grab fresh peaches from the farmers market because the flavor is hard to beat. They tend to be sweeter, juicier, and hold up beautifully when roasted. Yellow peaches are my first choice for this recipe because they have the perfect balance of sweetness and acidity. Freestone peaches are especially easy to work with since the pit removes cleanly, although clingstone peaches will work just as well. If fresh peaches aren’t available, frozen peaches are a great alternative. Be sure to thaw them completely and pat away any excess moisture before roasting. Removing the extra moisture helps the peaches caramelize instead of steam.

How to Pick the Best Burrata

When buying burrata, look for containers with the latest sell-by date since it’s best enjoyed fresh. Let it sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes before serving so the creamy center softens. If you can’t find burrata, fresh mozzarella will work, although the finished appetizer won’t be quite as rich or creamy.

How to Make Roasted Tomato Peach Burrata Dip

This appetizer comes together with just a few simple steps, and the oven does almost all of the work. As the peaches roast, they become sweeter, while the cherry tomatoes soften and release their juices. Once everything is combined with creamy burrata, fresh herbs, and balsamic glaze, you’ll have a beautiful appetizer that’s ready to serve.

  • Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F and allow it to fully preheat while you prepare the peaches and tomatoes.
  • Season the peaches and tomatoes: Arrange the sliced peaches and halved cherry tomatoes on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with the olive oil, sprinkle with the kosher salt, and gently toss until everything is evenly coated.
  • Roast until tender: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for about 20 minutes. The tomatoes should begin to burst, and the peaches should be tender while still holding their shape.
  • Assemble the appetizer: Transfer the roasted peaches, tomatoes, and all of the flavorful juices to a shallow serving bowl or platter. Drizzle the balsamic glaze evenly over the top.
  • Finish with the burrata: Carefully tear the burrata into large pieces and place it over the warm peaches and tomatoes. Sprinkle with the chopped basil and fresh mint before serving immediately.

Tips for Success

  • This recipe is incredibly simple, but a few small details make a big difference.
  • Bring the burrata to room temperature before serving. It becomes much creamier and spreads beautifully over the warm peaches and tomatoes.
  • Don’t leave the juices behind on the baking sheet. As the peaches and tomatoes roast, they create a naturally sweet sauce that adds so much flavor to the finished dish.
  • Choose peaches that are ripe but still slightly firm. Overripe peaches can become too soft during roasting.
  • Finally, serve this appetizer while it’s still warm. The contrast between the warm roasted fruit and the cool, creamy burrata is what makes every bite so delicious.

Variations

One of my favorite things about this recipe is how easy it is to change based on what’s in season or what you already have at home.

  • For a salty contrast, add thin slices of prosciutto just before serving.
  • If you enjoy a little heat, drizzle hot honey over the burrata along with the balsamic glaze.
  • To add a little crunch, sprinkle toasted pistachios or pine nuts over the finished dish.
  • Fresh thyme is another great option if you don’t have mint on hand, and a pinch of flaky sea salt just before serving makes all of the flavors pop even more.

What to Serve with Burrata Dip

This appetizer pairs well with:

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The peaches and tomatoes hold up well, although the burrata will become softer after it’s been refrigerated. I don’t recommend freezing this recipe because fresh burrata doesn’t thaw well and the texture changes considerably.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make Roasted Tomato Peach Burrata Dip ahead of time?

Yes. Roast the peaches and tomatoes a few hours ahead of time and refrigerate them once they’ve cooled. Before serving, let them come closer to room temperature or warm them gently. Add the burrata, fresh herbs, and balsamic glaze just before serving so everything stays fresh.

What is burrata cheese?

Burrata is a fresh Italian cheese with a soft mozzarella shell and a creamy center made from mozzarella curds and cream. It has a richer texture than fresh mozzarella, making it perfect for spreading over roasted vegetables, fruit, and toasted bread.

Can I use frozen peaches?

Yes. Thaw the peaches completely and pat them dry with paper towels before roasting. Removing the extra moisture helps them roast instead of steam.

What can I serve with this burrata appetizer?

This recipe is delicious with toasted crostini, sliced baguette, pita chips, crackers, or sourdough bread. It also pairs well with grilled chicken, steak, or as part of a summer charcuterie board.

Can I substitute mozzarella for burrata?

Yes. Fresh mozzarella can be substituted if burrata isn’t available. The appetizer will still be delicious, although burrata creates a much creamier texture that makes this recipe extra special.

Can I add other ingredients?

Absolutely. Prosciutto, toasted pistachios, hot honey, flaky sea salt, or even a little arugula make delicious additions.

Should I peel the peaches?

I recommend peeling the peaches because the skins can become a little chewy after roasting. If the skins don’t bother you, feel free to leave them on.

Can I use heirloom tomatoes instead of cherry tomatoes?

Yes. Simply cut larger tomatoes into bite-sized pieces before roasting. Cherry tomatoes are my favorite because they’re naturally sweeter and release just the right amount of juice, but ripe heirloom tomatoes are another delicious option.

Can I serve this cold?

You can, but I think it’s best served warm or at room temperature. The warm peaches and tomatoes soften the burrata slightly, creating a creamy texture that’s hard to beat.

Can I add protein?

Definitely. Thin slices of prosciutto, grilled chicken, or even grilled shrimp pair beautifully with the sweet peaches and creamy burrata.

Can I roast the peaches and tomatoes on the grill instead?

During the summer, I sometimes make this recipe on my pellet grill instead of the oven. Place everything in a grill-safe pan and cook over indirect heat until the tomatoes soften and the peaches are tender. It adds a light smoky flavor that’s delicious with the burrata.
