Ingredients

  • 1 ball fresh burrata (you can sub fresh mozzarella if you can't find burrata, but it'll be a little different)
  • 1/2 cup pesto, store-bought or homemade (my cilantro pesto is really yummy and for this recipe I subbed mint)
  • 8 fresh figs, halved
  • ciabatta or any rustic french bread, sliced
  • for finishing: flaky sea salt (like Maldon), fresh mint, and extra-virgin olive oil

Instructions

  1. Brush the bread slices with olive oil, then toast under the broiler or on a grill until the edges are nice and charred.
  2. In a bowl, place the burrata and drizzle a little pesto over the top. Surround the burrata with halved figs, then place on a serving platter with the grilled bread, more figs, and additional pesto. Sprinkle salt, fresh mint leaves, and a drizzle of olive oil over everything.
  3. Serve and let everyone make their own burrata toasts.
