Strawberry & Burrata Crostini

INGREDIENTS

For the strawberries:

• 1 pint fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
• 2 tbsp Lemon Infused olive oil
• 1 tbsp honey
• Zest of ½ lemon
• Pinch of flaky salt

For the basil sugar:

• 2 tbsp sugar
• 6–8 fresh basil leaves, very finely chopped

For assembly:

• 1 baguette, sliced and toasted
• 2 balls burrata
• Extra Lemon Infused olive oil for drizzling
• Fresh basil leaves (optional garnish)

DIRECTIONS

1. Macerate the strawberries. In a bowl, gently toss strawberries with lemon-infused olive oil, honey, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt. Let them sit for 15–20 minutes until juicy and glossy.
2. Make basil sugar. Mix the finely chopped basil with sugar, pressing slightly to release the oils. It should smell fragrant and slightly green.
3. Prepare the crostini. Toast baguette slices until golden. While still warm, lightly brush with a touch of lemon olive oil.
4. Assemble. Tear burrata and spread onto each crostini. Spoon strawberries over the top, letting some of the juices soak in.
5. Sprinkle lightly with basil sugar, drizzle with a final thread of lemon olive oil, and garnish with small basil leaves.

If desired, you can also drizzle with our Barrel Aged Balsamic Vinegar for some extra sweetness & tartness.
