Saute the corn. Add a little olive oil to a skillet over medium heat and add corn. Season with salt and black pepper and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Make the balsamic glaze. Combine honey and balsamic vinegar in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 12-15 minutes, until the sauce reduces and coats the back of a spoon. Remove and let it cool to room temperature.
Assemble - layer the peaches, sliced tomatoes and mozzarella, and basil leaves. Sprinkle corn on top and then drizzle with the extra virgin olive oil and balsamic glaze. Add a dash of finishing salt/flaky sea salt and black pepper on top.
Notes
If prepping ahead of time, cut up all of the ingredients and store in separate containers so that everything will stay fresh and not become soggy.
Use Fresh Ingredients: Opt for the freshest tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil you can find. Heirloom or vine-ripened tomatoes add vibrant color and flavor.
Slice Evenly: Slice the tomatoes and mozzarella into even, thick rounds. This ensures consistent layering and a balanced bite.
High-Quality Olive Oil and Balsamic: Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and, optionally, a touch of balsamic glaze or vinegar. Choose a high-quality olive oil for a rich, fruity flavor.
Serve Immediately: Caprese salad is best enjoyed fresh, so serve it right after preparing to fully appreciate the flavors and textures.
