A quick and easy burrata cheese board featuring creamy burrata, sweet fig jam, and earthy truffle honey, perfect for entertaining or a special snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces (about 225 grams) fresh burrata cheese
  • ⅓ cup (about 110 grams) fig jam, preferably chunky
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) truffle honey (or high-quality wildflower honey as substitute)
  • One baguette or ciabatta loaf, sliced and lightly toasted
  • 4–5 ripe fresh figs, quartered (optional; can substitute with sliced pears or apples)
  • A small handful of arugula or microgreens for garnish
  • Extra virgin olive oil for drizzling
  • Sea salt flakes (Maldon or fleur de sel) for finishing
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the baguette or ciabatta into ½-inch thick pieces. Arrange on a baking sheet and toast for 7-10 minutes until golden and crisp but still slightly soft inside.
  2. Remove burrata from the fridge about 10 minutes before serving to come to room temperature. Place burrata in the center of the serving board and gently cut it open with a soft cheese knife.
  3. Spoon fig jam in small dollops around the burrata or place in a small bowl. Quarter fresh figs and scatter around the board if using.
  4. Sprinkle arugula or microgreens over and around the cheese. Drizzle extra virgin olive oil over the burrata and figs. Add sea salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  5. Drizzle truffle honey over the burrata and around the board.
  6. Serve immediately. Encourage guests to spread burrata on toast with fig jam and honey.

Notes

Let burrata come to room temperature before serving for best creaminess. Toast bread until golden with slight crunch to hold toppings without sogginess. Drizzle truffle honey last to preserve aroma and flavor. Fresh figs should be ripe but firm. For vegan option, substitute burrata with cashew cheese and honey with maple syrup.
