Step 1
Start by heating your grill to high and give the grate a little brush of oil so nothing sticks. Place the figs on the grill with the skin side down and let them cook until they start to puff up and get a bit bubbly—this usually takes around 2 to 4 minutes. While the figs are grilling, whisk together the balsamic vinegar and olive oil until they’re fully blended. Once your toast is ready, pile on some creamy Burrata, then arrange the warm figs around it. Drizzle everything with the balsamic mixture, and finish off with a sprinkle of sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste. Enjoy!
Why you’ll love it
This dish combines the creamy richness of burrata with the natural sweetness of fresh figs, creating a perfect balance of flavors. It’s simple to prepare but feels elegant, making it great for both casual snacks and special occasions.
How to serve
Serve this alongside a light salad or a glass of chilled white wine. It also pairs well with cured meats like prosciutto or a handful of nuts for added texture.
Storage & leftovers
Prepare the components separately and assemble just before serving to keep the bread crisp. Leftover burrata should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge and used within a day or two.
