Sweet, juicy strawberries meet fragrant basil and creamy burrata in this elegant yet effortless appetizer. Served atop crisp crostini and finished with a drizzle of balsamic glaze, these Strawberry Basil Crostini with Burrata are the perfect balance of fresh, creamy, and tangy flavors—ideal for spring gatherings, wine nights, or a simple treat just because!
Ingredients
- 1 baguette, sliced into ½-inch pieces
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 tbsp balsamic glaze (plus more for drizzling)
- 6 oz burrata cheese, torn into pieces
- ¼ cup fresh basil leaves, torn
- ¼ tsp flaky sea salt
- ¼ tsp freshly cracked black pepper
- Honey (optional, for drizzling)
Directions
Toast the Crostini: Preheat oven to 375°F. Brush baguette slices with olive oil and arrange them on a baking sheet. Toast for 8-10 minutes until golden and crisp.
Prepare the Strawberries: In a bowl, toss the sliced strawberries with balsamic glaze. Let them sit for about 5 minutes to enhance their sweetness.
Assemble the Crostini: Spread torn burrata over each toasted baguette slice. Top with balsamic strawberries and fresh basil.
Finish & Serve: Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and cracked black pepper. Drizzle with extra balsamic glaze (and honey if you like a touch of sweetness). Serve immediately.
This pairs beautifully with a crisp Sauvignon Blanc or a light Rosé. Enjoy! 🍓✨
