Ingredients
Scale
- 4–5 ripe apricots, halved and pitted
- 1 ball burrata cheese (about 8 oz or 225 g), room temperature
- 4–6 slices crusty bread (sourdough or country-style), about ½-inch thick
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- A handful fresh basil leaves, torn (optional)
- 1–2 tablespoons honey
- Sea salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat (about 375°F).
- Rinse, halve, and pit apricots. Brush cut sides lightly with olive oil.
- Brush both sides of bread slices with olive oil.
- Place apricot halves cut side down on the grill. Grill 3-4 minutes until char marks appear and fruit softens slightly. Flip and grill 1-2 minutes on skin side.
- Grill bread slices 1-2 minutes per side until golden and toasted with grill marks.
- Spread a generous layer of burrata on each toast slice.
- Tear grilled apricots and scatter on top of burrata.
- Drizzle with honey, sprinkle torn basil leaves, and season with sea salt and cracked black pepper.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of warm apricots and cool burrata.
Notes
Let burrata sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before spreading for creamier texture. Avoid overcrowding the grill to get even char marks. Use a hot grill for best caramelization. If no grill pan, a broiler or ridged skillet can substitute. Store components separately if prepping ahead to avoid soggy toast.
