let’s get figgy wit it.
while fig jams + dried figs can be found year-round, there is nothing like a fresh fig.
fresh figs are lusciously sweet, with soft flesh + tiny crunchy seeds. in my opinion, they’re like plum’s prettier yet lower key cousin.
they’re delicious + they are only available from june through september, which is why when they are in season, they are always in my grocery cart.
in spirit of the fig, i’m keeping this post short -n- sweet today.
because it’s friday. but also – there’s no cooking here! no techniques to share!
just a marriage of really delicious ingredients.
sometimes the best things in foodie life are the simple things. these fig, burrata + orange blossom honey crostinis perfectly exemplify that theory.
all you do is you simply stack creamy heavenly burrata {is there anything better than burrata? but seriously..} + fresh sliced figs on top of a crispy crostini, then drizzle it all with orange blossom honey. and try not to eat the whole tray before company arrives.
that’s it.
told ya it was sweet! happy friday, internet friends!
na na na na na na na nana. na na na na nana. gettin’ figgy wit it. .
- 1 ball of burrata
- 14 crostinis
- 4 fresh figs, thinly sliced
- orange blossom honey, to drizzle
- spread 1 tablespoon of burrata onto the crostini
- lay a fig slice on top of the cheese
- drizzle with honey
- repeat until all of the ingredients are used + enjoy!
proscuitto would be an awesome addition to these crostinis. just simply layer it with the burrata + figs!
whatever you are serving these crostinis on, i suggest to lay down a piece of wax paper underneath them! then drizzle your honey for an easy peasy clean up!
for the crostinis, i used a bag of pre-toasted slices. this option is so easy for throwing these together quick or if you are assembling at a party but if you fancy, you can make the crostinis from scratch by simply thinly slicing a baguette + toasting in the oven until they reach your desired crunch level!
these crostinis are made with wine night in mind! serve alongside a full charcuterie plate!
