Can I make Peach Burrata Parmesan Crostini ahead of time?

Yes! You can prepare the crostini in advance by assembling the cheese mixture and pre-slicing the bread. However, it’s best to bake the crostini just before serving to keep them crispy. You can also store the pre-baked crostini in an airtight container and reheat them in the oven for a few minutes before adding the burrata, peaches, and hot honey.

Can I substitute burrata cheese with another cheese?

If burrata isn't available, you can substitute it with fresh mozzarella or ricotta cheese for a similar creamy texture. However, burrata provides a richer, creamier taste that makes these crostinis extra special, so try to use it if possible.

How can I make this recipe vegetarian?

To make the Peach Burrata Parmesan Crostini vegetarian, simply skip the prosciutto or replace it with grilled vegetables like zucchini or bell peppers. Adding roasted mushrooms or olives will also bring an earthy flavor to balance the sweetness of the peaches.

Can I use a different fruit besides peaches?

While peaches are a key ingredient in this recipe, you can experiment with other seasonal fruits like nectarines, plums, or even figs. These fruits offer a similar sweetness and juiciness that pair well with the creamy burrata and crispy crostini.
