Introduction

This Apple and Hot Honey Burrata Toast is a simple yet sophisticated snack that combines creamy burrata with crisp apple slices and a spicy-sweet drizzle of hot honey. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a light bite any time of day.

A single slice of dark toasted bread sits on a large white plate with small black specks. The bread is covered with a thick layer of white creamy spread, topped with several thin, pale yellow apple slices arranged in a slightly overlapping, curved line. Small pieces of chopped brown nuts are scattered generously across the apple slices, and a thin drizzle of golden honey runs diagonally over everything. Tiny black specks, likely ground pepper, are sprinkled lightly over the top and plate. The setting is on a white marbled texture. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

Sourdough bread
Olive oil for toasting
1/4 of a ball of burrata
1/2 of a sliced apple (such as Honeycrisp)
4-5 hazelnuts, roughly chopped
Drizzle of hot honey

Instructions

Step 1: Coat each slice of sourdough bread evenly with olive oil.
Step 2: Toast the bread in a skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and crisp.
Step 3: Spread a quarter of the burrata ball evenly over each toasted slice.
Step 4: Top with thinly sliced apple halves and roughly chopped hazelnuts.
Step 5: Finish with a generous drizzle of hot honey and enjoy immediately.

Tips & Variations

Use firm apples like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith for the best crunch and balance of sweetness.
Substitute hazelnuts with toasted walnuts or pecans for a different nutty flavor.
If you prefer less spice, use regular honey instead of hot honey.
For added freshness, sprinkle some fresh thyme or arugula on top before serving.

Storage

This toast is best enjoyed fresh to maintain the crispness of the bread and the creamy texture of the burrata. If needed, keep leftover toasted bread and toppings separate in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Reheat the bread lightly in a skillet before assembling.

How to Serve

A single slice of dark toasted bread is the base, covered with a thick spread of white creamy cheese. On top, there are six thinly sliced pale yellow apple wedges arranged in a slightly overlapping line. Small pieces of chopped nuts are scattered generously over the apples and cheese, adding texture. Thin golden honey drizzles cross the entire stack, creating a glossy finish. There are also small black specks sprinkled evenly over the top for extra detail. All this is placed on a white plate with tiny black speckles, sitting on a white marbled surface. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

Scale

For the Toast

Sourdough bread, slices as desired
Olive oil, for toasting (about 1-2 tablespoons)

Toppings

1/4 ball of burrata cheese (adjust depending on burrata size)
1/2 honeycrisp apple, thinly sliced
4–5 hazelnuts, roughly chopped
Drizzle of hot honey (about 1 tablespoon)

Instructions

Prepare the bread: Coat each slice of sourdough bread evenly with olive oil on both sides to ensure a golden, crispy texture once toasted.
Toast the bread: Heat a skillet over medium heat and toast the prepared bread slices for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy.
Assemble the toast: Spread the burrata cheese generously over the hot toasted bread to allow it to soften slightly.
Add toppings: Arrange the thinly sliced honeycrisp apple over the burrata, sprinkle the chopped hazelnuts on top for crunch, and finish with a drizzle of hot honey for a sweet and spicy kick.
Serve immediately: Enjoy this flavorful toast while the bread is still warm and the burrata creamy.

Notes

You can substitute the honeycrisp apple with other crisp apples like Fuji or Gala.
Adjust the amount of hot honey to your preferred level of spiciness and sweetness.
For a nut-free version, omit the hazelnuts or substitute with seeds like pumpkin or sunflower seeds.
Use fresh burrata for the best creamy texture and flavor.
Serve immediately after assembling to maintain the contrast between crispy bread and creamy cheese.
