Ingredients
Scale
- 6 fresh apricots, halved and pitted
- 1 ball burrata cheese (enough for 4 crostinis)
- 1 baguette or rustic bread, sliced into ½-inch thick pieces (about 12 slices)
- Honey (wildflower or clover, for drizzling)
- Olive oil (extra virgin, for brushing bread and apricots)
- Sea salt
- Freshly cracked black pepper
- Fresh thyme or basil leaves (optional)
Instructions
- Rinse and dry apricots. Cut in half and remove pits. Brush cut sides lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper. Set aside for 5 minutes.
- Slice baguette into about 12 slices, each ½ inch thick. Brush both sides lightly with olive oil. If bread is very fresh and soft, let it sit out for 15-20 minutes to firm up.
- Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 375°F).
- Place apricot halves cut side down on the grill. Grill for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and fruit softens slightly. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Remove and keep warm.
- Place oiled bread slices on the grill. Cook for 2 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp with grill lines. Transfer to serving platter.
- Tear or slice burrata into small pieces and spread generously over each grilled bread slice. Top each with a grilled apricot half.
- Drizzle honey over each crostini. If using, sprinkle fresh thyme or basil leaves on top.
- Finish with a light sprinkle of flaky sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
Notes
Assemble crostini just before serving to keep bread crisp. You can grill apricots and bread ahead and store separately at room temperature. Burrata should be added just before serving. For vegan option, substitute burrata with plant-based cheese and honey with maple syrup or agave nectar. Avoid overcrowding grill to get good caramelization. Use medium-high heat to prevent burning.
