This elegant vegetarian starter celebrates the simple, high-quality ingredients found in traditional Italian cooking. Crisp, garlic-rubbed ciabatta or sourdough provides the perfect crunchy base for creamy burrata, a luxurious cheese made from mozzarella and cream. The richness of the cheese is beautifully balanced by the peppery bite of fresh baby rocket and the bright, citrusy notes of finely grated lemon zest.
Ideal for a light lunch or a sophisticated dinner party appetiser, these toasted bread bites are incredibly easy to assemble. The contrast between the warm, toasted bread and the cool, velvety centre of the burrata creates a truly satisfying combination of textures. Serve these as part of a summer sharing platter or as a fresh first course alongside a chilled glass of white wine.
