Ingredients
Scale
- 1 loaf Baguette
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 cup Shishito Peppers
- 8 ounces Burrata Cheese
- 2 tablespoons Lemon Vinaigrette
Instructions
- Prep the Shishito Peppers: Toss whole shishito peppers with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Broil them in the oven until they’re charred and soft, about 5-7 minutes.
- Prepare the Crostini: Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick pieces and brush each slice with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then bake at 400°F for about 10 minutes until golden brown.
- Assemble the Crostini: Spread a generous amount of burrata on each toasted baguette slice. Top with the blistered shishito peppers, then drizzle with lemon vinaigrette.
Notes
- Assemble crostini no more than 45 minutes in advance to keep the bread crunchy.
- Watch the broiler closely as shishito peppers can burn quickly.
- Prep shishito peppers and crostini ahead of time and store them separately.
- Feel free to swap burrata for feta or goat cheese.
- Garnish with fresh herbs like basil or chives for added flavor and presentation.
