Description
A crisp, creamy crostini with caramelized pineapple, burrata, and a swicy chili-black pepper honey drizzle. A bold and vibrant summer bite.
Ingredients
For the Crostini:
1 small sourdough baguette, sliced into ½-inch slices
1 tbsp olive oil
For the Toppings:
1 ball of burrata (approx. 125g), torn into small pieces
½ fresh pineapple, peeled and sliced into bite-sized wedges
1 tbsp unsalted butter
Pinch of sea salt
For the Swicy Drizzle:
3 tbsp honey
½ tsp freshly cracked black pepper
¼ tsp red chili flakes
To Finish:
Fresh mint or basil (optional)
Flaky sea salt (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat a grill or grill pan. Brush sourdough slices with olive oil. Grill for 2–3 minutes per side until crisp and marked. Set aside.
2. Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add pineapple and sear 2–3 minutes per side until golden and caramelized. Sprinkle with sea salt.
3. Warm honey with black pepper and chili flakes in a small pan. Heat until fragrant and fluid.
4. Top each crostini with torn burrata, a caramelized pineapple wedge, and a drizzle of warm spicy honey.
5. Add fresh mint or basil if using. Finish with flaky sea salt. Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
Use day-old bread for best texture.
Grill pineapple ahead and reheat gently.
Keep honey warm and pourable before serving.
Tear burrata for a rustic look.
Assemble just before serving to maintain crunch.
