Preparation
Wash and halve the apricots lengthways.
Brown the apricots in a hot frying pan with a drizzle of olive oil.
After cooking for about 2 minutes, add the honey, dried rosemary, salt and pepper. Cook for approx. 5 minutes over medium heat and set aside.
In the same pan, brown the slice of bread for about 2 minutes.
Assemble the toast: Place some arugula on the bread, the honey-roasted apricots, pieces of burrata, a drizzle of olive oil and chilli pepper (optional). And voilà, your toast is ready :)
Observations
What type of bread should I choose?
Farmhouse bread, sourdough bread or a slice of cereal bread are ideal for this type of tartine. Their dense crumb and crisp crust hold up well to the humidity of the ingredients, while adding chewiness.
Can roasted apricots be prepared in advance?
Yes, roasted apricots can be cooked a few hours in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Remember to take them out 10 to 15 minutes before serving, or to warm them slightly to release all their aromas.
What to serve with apricot and burrata tartine?
It's perfect on its own for a light meal, but can also be served with a salad of baby greens, a tomato gazpacho or a cold almond soup for a well-balanced summer menu.
What other fruits can be used instead of apricots?
Peaches, fresh figs, plums or even roasted grapes are excellent alternatives. They go very well with burrata and also provide a sweet-savory balance.
Can this tartine be made vegan?
Yes, simply replace the burrata with a creamy vegetable alternative based on cashew nuts or soy, and use agave syrup instead of honey.
