roasted balsamic beet and burrata crostini with fresh mint
“Indulge in culinary sophistication with our Roasted Balsamic Beet and Burrata Crostini, featuring fresh mint. A harmonious blend of flavors, this appetizer is a tasteful journey into gourmet excellence.”
Over the holiday, I introduced Mr. B to burrata.
Let me back up for a second.
I’ve been hyping burrata for the past six months. Ever since Heidi went on a burrata hot streak this past fall, I’ve been burrata-ing it up. Of course, over indulgence never comes at opportune times. Every time I would purchase or make something with burrata Mr. B would be flapping his wings all over the world. Wait, is this where I realize that subconsciously, I am keeping burrata to myself? GASP.
Poor Mr.B, sometimes, it’s hard being the spouse of a burrata-hoarding food blogger. But! Not to fear folks, I finally whipped up a caprese burrata dish on New Year’s Eve that had him saying, “Mmmmmm….burrata is legit. I think mozzarella just wept.”
Since Mr. B going to be traveling again for pretty much the entire month of January, I figured I needed to whip up one more burrata themed appetizer before he left. I realize beets don’t necessarily get along with most folks. They do kind of have an earthy flavor, like dirt paste to some people. But! If you roast beets with a little s&p and balsamic vinegar the dirt field tastes goes away. Trust me.
Spread some burrata on a golden crostini, top with the roasted beets, garnish with some fresh mint, and viola: healthy,creamy appetizer that has rabbit’s asking for seconds.
“Conclude your culinary escapade with the exquisite Roasted Balsamic Beet and Burrata Crostini, enhanced by the freshness of mint. Elevate your appetizer experience with this delightful symphony of flavors in our Roasted Balsamic Beet and Burrata Crostini with Fresh Mint.”
I could eat Burrata all day everyday.. I must try this.
Gurrrl, you need to be all up in this crostini! 🙂
Erica- Thats not saying much. You would eat anything that didnt EAT you FIRST!
I’m thrilled to have found your blog 🙂 Love the posts and pics … keep em’ coming!
Thank you!!! I am so glad you stopped by!
Hee, hee. I’m so glad I could drive you to the burrata side, it’s a good side to be on 😉 Where did you find your burrata? We had a twitter convo about it just last night!
Exactly. Now, I feel like a burrata pusher:) I found burrata at Whole Foods and Sprouts. They never keep it next to the regular mozzarella for fear of hurting it’s feelings.
I adora burrata!! I just found it at a new cheese shop in town too!
Dude, it’s totally life changing!!
Burrata?!? Never heard of it! You are making me want to drive 90 miles to the nearest city to find some of this!
Would it be wrong if I encouraged that? Does Amazon deliver burrata?
Yeeeeeeeeees! I love this! It’s been forever since I’ve had burrata – what a wonderful way to wish Mr. B safe travels. LOVE them beets!
Beets and bur rata are total besties! Thanks, Julia!
I am all over beets and burrata! You just get me.
You know it! Thanks, friend:)
Soooo, would you judge me if I told you I have yet to try burrata? *shame face* It’s about time I hop that bandwagon. Seriously loving this combo. I have some beets that have been chilling in my fridge for way too long. Looks like a perfect way to use them up!
Nope! No judgement here. It’s better late than never, Courtney:)
burrata is my jam girrrl! spread it on anything and I’m there 🙂
I love burrata! I was finally able to find it at City Market towards the end of the Summer and I cannot get enough of it. I put it on everything! Loving these toast!
First off, the pictures in this post are beautiful! Secondly, YUM. I love beets and burrata but have not yet combined them. I love this idea. My hubs also complains when I cook things for my blog that he does not get to eat, haha (which is very rare, btw). Burrata is definitely one ingredient worth hoarding!
Thank you, Molly! 🙂
I’m so glad Heidi asked where you found it because people here in Lubbock are like WHAT is that? I’m going to see if I can find it at Sprouts here.
Beets and cheese, together forevert! I’ve never had mint with these, though–super interesting.
OK head out from underneath the bolder. I have never heard of burrata. This looks so fabulous. Is it sugar free? 😉
Great Job Lady!
Thanks, Meredith! I hope you are well!
I love beets so much!! This looks like such a fabulous appetizer!
I totally hide burrata from the.boy. I mean…more for me!! He doesn’t like beets, so these are ALL.MINE.
Same on this end! We should totally have a beet and burrata party, yo!
Must eat now. Cannot wait.
Need this. Ugh! (And I mean that in the most endearing way possible.)
Oh my goodness! This looks perfect for entertaining!! (or snacking!)
Love the combo of flavours in this! Such tasty little bites and so very pretty too.
Burrata is my loveeeee. I love this combination atop crostini. Perfect snack or appetizer – or just perfect for my belly 😉
Beautiful pictures! You had me at beets! Great appetizer!
I’m a sucker for burrata!!! Maybe even slightly addicted 🙂 Love the idea of using it for crostini.
Can you believe I’ve never had burrata? I need to change that asap — I think this is just the recipe for such a task! 😉
I love this burrata and beet combo! Looks like the perfect snack! If you don’t mind me asking, where do you buy burrata in the Denver Metro/Boulder area (besides Whole Foods)? I have yet to venture to any of the specialty cheese shops in the area. Any advice would be great! – Justine
