14+ Crostini Topping Recipes: Blackberry Burrata Mint Crostini
Equipment
Ingredients
Crostini
- 1 baguette, sliced
- 2-3 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- Pinch coarse sea salt, to taste
Topping
- 8 oz. burrata cheese, divided
- Salt flakes, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 6 oz. blackberries, halved, as needed
- 1/4 cup fresh mint, roughly chopped
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- Honey, for drizzle
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 375°F. Spread baguette slices on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil (don’t drench them, dry areas are ok) and sprinkle with salt as desired. Flip slices over and repeat so both sides are lightly covered with oil. Bake for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown. Once toasted, remove from pan and set aside.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together mint, lemon, olive oil, and a pinch of salt (to taste).
- Layer the following on top of each toasted crostini: 1-2 tablespoons of burrata, freshly ground black pepper, a pinch of salt flakes, 3-4 blackberries, a drizzle of the mint mixture, and a drizzle of honey. Top with additional mint leaves and salt flakes as desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Crostini can be made a few hours or a day ahead – just store in an airtight container until ready to serve. You may need to reheat in the oven to crisp up if making the day before.
- Makes approximately 16-18 crostini.
