Ingredients
4 slices sourdough or artisan bread
1 ripe avocado
1 ball (125 g) burrata cheese
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 small garlic clove, optional
Salt and black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
1 teaspoon honey, optional
Fresh basil leaves
Pinch of red pepper flakes, optional
Flaky sea salt
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
Instructions
Toast the sourdough or artisan bread slices until golden and crisp around the edges. If desired, lightly rub the warm toast with the garlic clove for extra flavour.
Mash the ripe avocado in a small bowl with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Add a squeeze of lemon juice and keep the avocado slightly chunky for a little extra texture.
Place the halved cherry tomatoes in a bowl. Toss gently with the extra-virgin olive oil, salt and black pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the mashed avocado generously over each slice of toasted bread. Add the seasoned cherry tomatoes, then tear the burrata into pieces and arrange it over the top.
Drizzle each toast generously with balsamic glaze. Add a little extra-virgin olive oil for a silky finish. If you prefer a slightly sweeter flavour, mix the balsamic glaze with the optional honey before drizzling.
Finish with fresh basil leaves, flaky sea salt and red pepper flakes if desired. Serve immediately while the bread is crisp and the burrata is creamy.
Notes
Use ripe avocado for a smooth texture while keeping some chunkiness.
Toast the bread well so it provides a crisp contrast to the creamy toppings.
Use fresh burrata while it is creamy and fresh.
Don’t overload the toast so it remains balanced and easy to eat.
Serve immediately while the bread is still crisp.
