π©βπ³ Instructions
1. Toast the Sourdough
Preheat the oven to 425Β°F (220Β°C). Arrange the sourdough slices on a baking sheet and brush both sides with extra-virgin olive oil. Sprinkle with garlic powder and flaky sea salt.
Bake for 8β10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the bread is crisp and golden brown.
2. Roast the Apricots
Place the apricot halves cut-side up on a separate baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle evenly with the brown sugar.
Roast for 12β15 minutes, or until the apricots are tender, juicy, and lightly caramelized.
3. Make the Whipped Burrata
In a food processor or blender, combine the burrata, heavy cream, and freshly cracked black pepper. Blend until smooth, creamy, and spreadable.
4. Prepare the Hot Honey Thyme Drizzle
In a small saucepan over low heat, gently warm the hot honey with the fresh thyme leaves and lemon juice for 1β2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Do not allow the mixture to boil.
5. Assemble the Toasts
Spread a generous layer of whipped burrata over each toasted sourdough slice. Top with the roasted apricot halves, then sprinkle with the chopped roasted pistachios.
Drizzle each toast generously with the warm hot honey thyme mixture.
6. Garnish and Serve
Finish with fresh thyme sprigs, a little fresh lemon zest, and extra chopped pistachios for added flavor and texture.
Serve immediately while the sourdough is crisp and the apricots are warm.
