If you’re a citrus lover, then you have to try my delicious Charred Lemon & Burrata Bruschetta. This bruschetta recipe is actually inspired by one of our favorite lemon pizzas that we had during our time in Rome at a casual spot called Casa Manco (they sell pizza by the slice – you choose the size!). This recipe is quick and easy to prepare which makes it perfect for entertaining!
How To Make Charred Lemon & Burrata Bruschetta
Here’s a video of how I made my Charred Lemon & Burrata Bruschetta, along with my favorite lemonade! I put my lemonade in these cute lemon glasses from Anthropologie. For another easy appetizer, check out my Sweet & Savory Peach Balsamic Bruschetta recipe.
Ingredients
- 1 baguette, sliced
- 12 seedless lemons, sliced thinly into rounds
- 8 ounces burrata cheese
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (divided), plus more for serving
- 3 tablespoons honey
- Fresh basil for garnish (small pieces or chiffonade)
- Flaky salt to taste
- Freshly cracked black pepper to taste
Step-By-Step Recipe
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the baguette slices onto a lined baking sheet and brush both sides with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden, then remove them from the oven and set them aside.
- Brush both sides of each seedless lemon round with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. In a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat, place the seedless lemon rounds and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until golden brown and lightly charred. Set them aside to cool, then slice each round in half.
- To assemble, spread a generous amount of burrata onto the toasted bread pieces. Place the seedless lemon halves on top, drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and a generous amount of honey. Finish with flaky sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, and fresh basil.
