01 / WHAT YOU NEED

Ingredients

12 Black Mission figs, halved lengthwise 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 6 ounces Burrata cheese, thickly sliced 6 (1/2 inch thick) slices Italian bread, toasted sea salt and ground black pepper to taste

02 / HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

Step 1

Start by heating up your grill to high and give the grates a quick brush with some oil to keep things from sticking. Place the figs on the grill with the skin side down and let them cook until they start to bubble and soften, which should take about 2 to 4 minutes. While the figs are grilling, whisk together the balsamic vinegar and olive oil until they come together into a smooth dressing. Once the figs are ready, pile some creamy Burrata cheese onto your toasted bread. Arrange the grilled figs around the cheese, then drizzle everything with the balsamic mixture. Finish it off with a sprinkle of sea salt and a crack of black pepper to taste, and you’re all set to enjoy!

Good to know.

Cook's tip

- Use ripe, fresh figs for the best sweetness and texture.
- Toast the bread just until golden to keep it crispy without burning.
- Drizzle a little good-quality olive oil or balsamic glaze on top to enhance the flavors.
