Ingredients
Scale
- 4 thick slices of sourdough or rustic bread (substitute with ciabatta, rye, or gluten-free bread)
- 2 balls burrata cheese (substitute with fresh mozzarella or whipped ricotta)
- 1/3 cup roasted pistachios, roughly chopped (substitute with walnuts, almonds, or hazelnuts)
- 3 tablespoons hot honey (or warm honey with a pinch of red pepper flakes)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Pinch of salt and freshly cracked black pepper
- Optional: fresh basil, mint, or lemon zest for garnish
Instructions
- Toast the Bread: Brush bread slices with olive oil and toast in a skillet, grill pan, or toaster oven until golden and crisp. For extra flavor, rub lightly with a garlic clove.
- Prepare the Pistachios: Roughly chop roasted pistachios and set aside.
- Get the Burrata Ready: Bring burrata to room temperature, then gently tear into smaller pieces.
- Drizzle Hot Honey: If making your own, warm honey with chili flakes for 1–2 minutes, then let cool slightly.
- Assemble the Toast: Place toasted bread on a serving plate. Layer with creamy burrata, sprinkle pistachios, drizzle with hot honey, and season with salt and pepper.
- Garnish and Serve: Add fresh herbs or lemon zest for brightness. Serve immediately.
Notes
Best enjoyed fresh. To prep ahead, chop pistachios and make hot honey in advance. Re-crisp bread if needed before assembling. For variations, try balsamic glaze instead of honey or add sliced heirloom tomatoes under the burrata.
