Tomato Peach Caprese with Herbed Brown Butter is a fresh and elevated twist on the classic Italian salad. Juicy peaches and cherry tomatoes pair with creamy burrata and fresh mozzarella, drizzled with fragrant herbed brown butter and a touch of balsamic vinegar. Sweet, savory, and slightly tangy, perfect for light lunches, appetizers, or elegant sides.

Ingredients

3 cups cherry tomatoes, halved if large

23 peaches, sliced into wedges

Olive oil or butter

3 tablespoons honey

12 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves

Salt, black pepper, chili flakes, to taste

8 ounces burrata cheese, at room temperature

8 ounces fresh mozzarella, at room temperature

1 cup fresh basil

6 tablespoons salted butter

1 shallot, chopped

1 tablespoon fresh chopped rosemary

1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves

1/4 cup peach or white balsamic vinegar

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss peach wedges and cherry tomatoes with olive oil or butter, honey, thyme, salt, pepper, and chili flakes. Roast 10–12 minutes until slightly caramelized. Let cool slightly.
  2. Prepare herbed brown butter: melt butter over medium heat, add shallots, rosemary, and thyme. Cook until fragrant and lightly browned, 3–5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in peach or white balsamic vinegar.
  3. Arrange roasted peaches, tomatoes, burrata, mozzarella, and basil on a serving platter.
  4. Drizzle herbed brown butter evenly over the salad. Serve immediately, garnished with extra thyme or basil if desired.

Notes

Add arugula or baby spinach for extra greens.

Substitute burrata with feta or goat cheese.

Use nectarines instead of peaches.

Sprinkle toasted nuts, like almonds or pecans, on top for crunch.

Add a drizzle of aged balsamic glaze for extra depth.
