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.
