Peach, Burrata, Proscuitto, and Basil Pesto Tart

This savory peach tart is a quick and delicious option to serve at brunch or if you’re needing an appetizer while entertaining guests. It comes together in 30 minutes - I always keep puff pastry in the freezer so I always know I can throw something like this together on little notice. I absolutely love Dufour‘s puff pastry, which you will find the freezer section at Whole Foods.


The recipe is really malleable to any stone fruits you might have on hand - you can even add asparagus, eggs, and the basil pesto for another delicious variation.

The basil pesto is so versatile - you can use it on pasta, scrambled eggs, avocado toast, add to proteins and grilled (yum!) - just some ideas for leftover basil.

Presentation tip: When you are about to plate, brush the peaches with a little honey mixed with water. It will give it a lush feel and shine to it.

Hope you enjoy!
