  3. Add Basil: Tuck fresh basil leaves between the slices of peaches, tomatoes, and mozzarella.

Notes

Choose ripe but firm peaches and tomatoes for the best flavor. Balsamic glaze can be made by simmering balsamic vinegar until it thickens. Variations include adding crushed red pepper flakes or toasted pine nuts for extra flavor and crunch.
