During that short period when both nectarines and corn are in season at the same time, I make this almost every day. Sometimes the corn is so sweet I don’t even cook it; otherwise I grill it briefly to bring the sugars to the surface. It’s a casual, family-style starter, but honestly, I like it so much I’d make it my lunch and dinner! It’s everything I love about summer food.

Image of Burrata With Nectarines And Corn

Ingredients

  • 2 small ripe nectarines (cut into wedges)
  • 1/3 cup chopped fresh basil
  • 1 fresh Fresno or serrano chile (thinly sliced)
  • 2 teaspoons white balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil (plus more as needed)
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 8 slices from a rustic Italian loaf
  • 4 ears of corn (shucked and silk removed)
  • 8 ounces fresh burrata (drained and patted dry)
  • 1/2 teaspoon flake salt (such as Maldon)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the peaches, basil, chile, vinegar, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and the kosher salt, and combine gently. Set aside and let the mixture marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
  2. Heat a stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the bread slices with oil and grill until lightly marked on both sides, 4 to 5 minutes total. Add the corn to the pan and grill on all sides until warmed with a few charred spots. Use a sharp knife to slice the kernels off the cobs and add them to the bowl with the nectarines.
  3. To serve, spoon the peach mixture onto a platter. Tear the burrata into 8 to 12 good-size pieces and arrange them over the salad. Sprinkle the flake salt evenly over the cheese and drizzle the cheese with a little extra olive oil. Serve with the grilled bread

    Absolutely spectacular dish. Be sure to use the serrano chile. The slight bit of heat brings out all of the other flavors. One tip: serve on a platter with some color, as in the recipe photo. I mistakenly used a white platter, and the presentation wasn’t quite as beautiful.
