5. Spread a fig jam over the burrata.

Tips for the Best Burrata Peach Salad:

 1. Serve Burrata at Room Temperature: Take the burrata cheese out of the fridge about 15–30 minutes before assembling the salad. Serving it at room temperature allows the creamy center to become perfectly soft and gooey.

 2. Choose the Right Fruit: Make sure your peaches (or pears) are ripe but still slightly firm. If they are too soft or overripe, they might turn into mush when you caramelize them in the pan.

 3. Dress the Greens Lightly: While the balsamic glaze and caramelized fruit juices add great flavor, tossing your arugula or spinach in a tiny bit of high-quality extra virgin olive oil and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before placing it on the plate will make the salad taste even fresher.

 4. Toast the Baguette with Olive Oil & Garlic: If you are serving this as bruschetta, brush the baguette slices with a little olive oil before baking or air-frying. For an extra kick of flavor, rub a cut clove of raw garlic over the toasted bread as soon as it comes out of the oven.

 5. Adjust the Sweetness: This recipe has sweet elements from the caramelized fruit and the fig jam. If you prefer a more savory flavor profile to balance the salty prosciutto, you can use less fig jam or skip it entirely.

 6. Serve Immediately: Once assembled, the salad should be eaten right away. If left sitting for too long, the juices from the fruit and the balsamic glaze can make the greens wilt and the bread soggy.
