One bite and you’ll understand why this crostini is a Cutco kitchen favorite.

Prepping the Ingredients

To get the ingredients ready, start by mincing a shallot with the 5″ Petite Santoku.

You can use the same knife to chop the fresh rosemary. Then use a 7-3/4″ Petite Slicer to slice the baguette. We recommend cutting on an angle for a longer piece of bread that easily holds the toppings.

This recipe calls for peaches and, while you can use frozen peaches that you thaw, fresh is always best. Using a 3″ Gourmet Paring Knife, cut the peach in half and remove the pit. Then cut each half into wedges.

Using a 7-5/8″ Petite Chef knife, chiffonade the fresh mint leaves.

Making the Crostini

Now that the prep work is complete, it’s time to put this easy appetizer together. One of the great things about making it is that all the baking of the individual ingredients happens at once.

Begin by preheating your oven to 400 F. In a small mixing bowl, combine the Parmesan and Romano cheeses, minced shallot, chopped fresh rosemary, two tablespoons of the melted butter and black pepper. Stir to combine and spread this cheese mixture onto a full-size baking sheet.

Place the baguette slices over the cheese and brush the top of each slice with the remaining two tablespoons of melted butter. This is the magic! Cooking the slices over the cheese mixture allows the top of the bread to crisp and then you flip over the baguette slices which will have the cheese mixture nicely crisped and attached to each slice.

The final twist to this baking process is to tuck the slices of prosciutto around the bread (and not over the bread) as you want the prosciutto to crisp as well.

Place the baking sheet into the oven and cook for approximately 15 minutes or until the bread has turned golden and the prosciutto is crispy. Transfer each piece of bread (with the cheese side up) to a serving platter. If there are extra crispy cheese pieces, place them on top of the bread slices. No cheese should be left behind.

Using a Traditional Cheese Knife, cut the burrata cheese in half and then into equal portions that can be placed on top of each cheesy bread slice. Top the cheese with a fresh peach slice, a piece of crispy prosciutto and the chopped mint leaves. While optional, we recommend drizzling each bread slice with a bit of hot honey to add another level of flavor to the crostini.

These Peach, Prosciutto and Burrata Crostini With Hot Honey appetizers are the ultimate sweet and savory bite. Juicy peaches, creamy burrata and salty prosciutto come together with the hot honey drizzle for a crowd-pleasing appetizer that is just as pretty to look at as it is to eat. Yum!
