Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C), and line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Place the peach halves, cut side up, in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of avocado oil over the peaches and sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon of salt.
Bake the peaches in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
While the peaches are baking, tear the Burrata cheese into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Once the peaches are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly, then arrange the baked peach halves on a serving platter or individual plates. Top each peach half with pieces of torn Burrata cheese.
Drizzle the ½ tablespoon of olive oil over the peaches and Burrata, and then sprinkle them with the torn basil leaves and the remaining ¼ teaspoon of salt. Serve immediately, garnished with extra basil; add toasted or candied pistachios atop before serving, to add a bit of crunch and balanced sweetness.

- For an extra touch of sweetness, drizzle a little honey over the peaches before serving or halfway through baking.

- Add extra flavor to your baked peaches with a sprinkle of your favorite low histamine spices, specifically cardamom or cinnamon (if tolerated).

- Serve the peaches and burrata over a bed of your favorite healthy greens, to turn this into more of a salad.

- If you prefer a bit of crunch, sprinkle some toasted nuts, like chopped almonds or candied pistachios, over the dish.

- You could also cook air fryer peaches to make this dish, so that it takes about half the time as when you bake peaches with burrata.
- It's important to use peaches that are all roughly the same size, to ensure even cooking. I like to use peaches that are roughly the size of my palm (around 8oz., give or take an ounce).
- For a more sweet version, enjoy this with a drizzle of seasonal fruity simple syrup, like my blackberry simple syrup or even ginger syrup, and lemon basil in place of regular basil.
