Ingredients
- 4 thick sourdough bread slices
- 2 large heirloom tomatoes
- 8 oz fresh burrata
- 2 garlic cloves
- 3 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 large eggs
- 2 Tbsp chili oil or chili crisp
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
- 1 tsp flaky sea salt
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tsp lemon zest
Instructions
- 1Slice the heirloom tomatoes into thick rounds and lay them on a plate; sprinkle lightly with flaky salt and let them sit while you prep the rest so excess juice draws out.
- 2Toast the sourdough slices in a toaster or dry skillet over medium heat until deeply golden and crisp on both sides, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.
- 3Halve the garlic cloves and rub the cut sides firmly over the hot toast so the bread absorbs the raw garlic flavor.
- 4Drizzle each toast with a little olive oil, then tear the burrata into generous pieces and spread it thickly over the garlic toast.
- 5Layer the salted tomato slices over the burrata, overlapping slightly, and finish with more flaky salt, black pepper, and lemon zest.
- 6Bring a small saucepan of water to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Carefully lower in the eggs and cook for exactly 6 and a half minutes for jammy yolks.
- 7Transfer the eggs to an ice bath for 30 seconds, then peel under cool running water. Slice each egg in half lengthwise.
- 8Place one soft-boiled egg half on each toast. Spoon chili oil over the eggs and tomatoes so it pools into the burrata.
- 9Tear fresh basil leaves over the top, add a final crack of pepper, and serve immediately while the toast is still warm and the burrata is creamy.
