Ingredients
- Half a dozen ripe Black Mission figs, cut in half lengthwise
- A drizzle of aged balsamic vinegar
- A generous splash of premium extra virgin olive oil
- A block of creamy Burrata cheese, sliced into thick pieces
- Six slices of rustic Italian bread, toasted to a golden brown
- Pinches of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Step 1
Get your outdoor grill sizzling on high heat and give the grates a light coat of oil to prevent sticking.
Step 2
Lay the figs on the grill with the skin facing down, allowing them to cook until they become plump and develop a slight caramelized texture, typically 2 to 4 minutes.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, vigorously whisk the balsamic vinegar and olive oil together until they form a harmonious blend, which should take about a minute of your time.
Step 4
Take your slices of toast and generously top each one with creamy Burrata cheese. Arrange the grilled figs around the bread artfully and drizzle them with the delectable balsamic vinegar dressing. Finish off with a sprinkle of sea salt and a crack of black pepper, adjusting to your taste preferences for a delightful burst of flavors.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Keep your figs fresh by storing them in a breathable container lined with a paper towel to absorb excess moisture.
- 2. To preserve the creaminess of burrata, store it in its original packaging submerged in a bowl of cold water in the refrigerator.
