Pro Tips

Pick the Right Nectarines: You want ripe but still firm nectarines. If they're too soft, they'll fall apart in the pan. A little give when you press them is perfect — they should smell fragrant and sweet at the stem end.
Don't Move Them: Once you place the nectarines cut-side down in the pan, leave them alone. Let them sit undisturbed for the full 4–5 minutes so they develop those gorgeous caramelized grill marks.
Use "Split" Creamed Honey: If your creamed honey has separated or changed texture a bit, this recipe is a perfect use for it. It melts beautifully over the warm nectarines and tastes just as incredible.
Drain the Burrata: Give your burrata a gentle drain on a paper towel before slicing. This keeps your platter from getting watery and lets the honey and salt really shine.
Serve Immediately: This dish is at its absolute best the moment it's assembled — warm nectarines, cool creamy burrata, and that honey drizzle all coming together fresh.

Instructions

Halve and pit the nectarines. Drain the burrata and carefully slice it into 6 pieces. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, place the nectarine halves cut-side down in the pan.
Cook undisturbed for 4–5 minutes until the nectarines are caramelized and just tender. You want nice golden grill marks but the fruit should still hold its shape. Remove from heat.
Arrange the grilled nectarine halves cut-side up on a serving platter. Top each one with a slice of burrata.
Drizzle generously with Honey House Creamed Honey, scatter the fresh mint leaves over the top, and finish with a pinch of flaky Maldon sea salt.
Serve immediately while the nectarines are still warm and the burrata is cool and creamy. This is beautiful as a shared appetizer or a light summer side.

Storage Tips

This dish is best served fresh and doesn't store particularly well, since the burrata and warm nectarines are at their peak right after assembly.
You can grill the nectarines up to 2 hours ahead and keep them at room temperature. Assemble just before serving.
Store leftover burrata in its liquid in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and use in salads or on toast.
Leftover grilled nectarines can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and repurposed over yogurt, oatmeal, or ice cream.

Recipe Notes

This recipe is all about contrast — warm, jammy nectarines against cool, creamy burrata, bright mint cutting through the richness, and flaky salt amplifying every flavor. The caramelization on the nectarines brings out their natural sugars, and the creamed honey ties everything together with a smooth, buttery sweetness that feels almost dessert-like without being heavy.

We use Honey House Creamed Honey here because its thick, velvety texture clings to the warm fruit and burrata instead of sliding right off the way liquid honey would. It's 100% pure and raw, American-sourced from beekeepers we trust, and that clean, rich flavor is exactly what a simple dish like this needs — when there are only six ingredients, every single one has to be great.

Perfect Pairings

This dish is a natural centerpiece for summer gatherings. Serve with:

A chilled glass of Prosecco or dry rosé
Crusty sourdough bread or warm flatbread for scooping
A simple arugula salad with lemon vinaigrette
Prosciutto or serrano ham on the side for a full antipasto spread
Grilled shrimp skewers for a light summer dinner

Honey House Recommendations

Drizzle with Honey House Hot Honey for a sweet-heat kick that plays beautifully against the cool burrata and salty finish.
Use Honey House Clover Honey for a lighter, more floral drizzle if you prefer a thinner consistency with delicate sweetness.
Try Honey House Alfalfa Honey for a mild, mellow sweetness that lets the nectarine flavor really take center stage.
