how to make Crowned Puff Pastry Wreath with Burrata, Grilled Peaches & Pistachios

Ingredients :

1 sheet puff pastry (250 g), thawed
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
1 tbsp sesame seeds or poppy seeds (optional, for decoration)
1 whole burrata (approx. 125–150 g)
2 ripe peaches, sliced into wedges
1 tsp olive oil
Pinch of salt
40 g roasted pistachios, roughly chopped
1–2 tbsp balsamic glaze
Fresh basil or thyme (optional)

Directions :

Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
On the tray, shape the puff pastry into a rough circle (cut a small circle from the center to form a wreath shape).
Fold and crimp the outer edges slightly. Brush all over with beaten egg and sprinkle seeds if using.
Bake for 20–25 minutes until puffed and golden brown. Let cool slightly.
Meanwhile, heat a grill pan with olive oil. Grill peach wedges on high heat for 2–3 minutes per side until slightly charred.
Place the burrata in the center of the cooled wreath. Arrange grilled peaches over the pastry.
Scatter chopped pistachios on top and drizzle generously with balsamic glaze.
Serve immediately—cut like a crown and scoop up a bit of everything.
