Servings: 2

Ingredients

  • 2 thick slices store-bought sourdough bread ¾ inch / 2 cm
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup arugula
  • 1 ball burrata 4 oz / 125 g
  • 3 –4 fresh figs
  • 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tsp honey
  • Freshly cracked black pepper
  • Flaky sea salt

Instructions

  • Simmer the balsamic vinegar and honey over medium-low heat for 3–4 minutes until syrupy. Let cool.
  • Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  • Toast the sourdough 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crisp.
  • Top each toast with arugula.
  • Tear the burrata and spread it over the arugula.
  • Slice the figs into thin rounds and layer them on top.
  • Drizzle with the balsamic-honey reduction, season with black pepper and flaky salt, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Short on time: use store-bought balsamic glaze instead of the reduction.
  • Add a few slices of prosciutto for a salty version.
  • Assemble right before eating; the bread softens within 10 minutes.
