-Toast 3 TBS pine nuts over medium low heat for 4-5 minutes until lightly toasted.

-Cut 1 container of Burrata cheese into bite size pieces.

-Spread out on a serving platter as best as possible.

-Slice 2-3 peaches into thin wedges and place on top of the Burrata.

-Take 10 large basil leaves and place one on top of the other in a stack.

-Roll up and then cut into thin strips.

-Sprinkle the basil over the peaches along with the toasted pine nuts and a TBS of good extra virgin olive oil.

-Then spoon the Balsamic honey over top and serve (or hide in a closet and eat it all yourself!).
