Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings
- 1 ball burrata cheese
- 2 tbsp heavy cream
- 1/2 bell pepper
- 1/4 onion
- 3 black olives
- 4 slices prosciutto (or thin ham or bacon)
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 tsp sugar
- 4 slices baguette
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- a pinch of black pepper
Recipe 🍳
- Pour balsamic vinegar into a small saucepan and simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes until thickened into a syrup.
- Dice the bell pepper and onion into small cubes so they still have a bit of bite.
- Heat olive oil in a pan, add the diced bell pepper, onion, and sugar, and sauté until the vegetables release their juices and develop a natural sweetness.
- Finely chop the black olives, mix into the sautéed vegetable mixture, and let cool slightly.
- Place the burrata cheese in a bowl, tear it roughly with a spoon, then add heavy cream, a spoonful of olive oil, and ground black pepper, and stir until it becomes a smooth, creamy base.
- On toasted baguette slices, spread a thin, even layer of the sautéed bell pepper and olive mixture.
- Generously spread the prepared burrata cream over the vegetables.
- Roll up the prosciutto slices by hand, place them on top for a dimensional look, and finish with a zigzag drizzle of the balsamic reduction.
- Reduce balsamic vinegar over low heat to make a syrup, and sauté bell pepper and onion with sugar in a pan.
- Tear the burrata cheese and mix with heavy cream, oil, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
- Top toasted bread with sautéed vegetables, cheese cream, and rolled prosciutto, then drizzle with balsamic syrup.
Cooking tips 💡
- If prosciutto is unavailable or too pricey, you can pan-fry bacon in a dry pan until crispy, drain the fat, and crumble it on top—it pairs wonderfully.
- When reducing balsamic vinegar, keep in mind that it will thicken further as it cools, so turn off the heat as soon as it coats the back of a spoon to prevent it from hardening.
- Mixing burrata cheese with a little cream and softening it by gentle mashing helps break down the chewy outer skin, making it perfect for spreading on bread.
