Mushroom XO: Burrata with Roasted Grapes
Ingredients
2 1-inch-thick slices of Italian-loaf-style breadย
Extra-virgin olive oilย
1 clove garlicย
1 bunch grapes (green, red, or mixed)ย
Salt, to tasteย ย
1 ball of burrata (Water Buffalo or Cow)ย
Chives, mincedย
Mushroom XOย
Black Pepper, freshly crackedย โฏย
Method
- Preheat the oven, grill, or pan in which you plan to toast the bread. Generously oil the bread and toast on both sides just until toasted but not charred; the inside of each slice should still be soft and fluffy. Rub the garlic clove on one of the toasted surfaces of each slice of bread.โฏย
- Toss the grapes with olive oil and season thoroughly with salt. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake or grill until the grapes begin to pucker but before their skins burst. Remove the tray from the heat and set aside at room temperature.ย
- Place the bread on the serving dish. Cut the burrata in half and place each half in the middle of each bread slice. Arrange the grapes on top and around the cheese. Spoon a tablespoon of Mushroom XO over each toast, followed by a generous shower of minced chives. Drizzle with olive oil and finish with salt and black pepper, to taste.ย
