Ever since I attended a bread-making workshop, I’ve become spoiled for home-baked bread. And nothing beats it on a sandwich like the open-faced Burrata and Avocado Tartine recipe I below. Although, any artisanal bread bought at a bakery or market will do.
Enjoy this Burrata and Avocado Tartine recipe!
- 2 slices of fresh sourdough or country french bread
- 1 ball of burrata cheese (fresh mozzarella with cream)
- 1 clove of garlic chopped
- 1 Tbsp of red pesto (store-bought)
- ½ avocado mashed
- pickled carrot strips (store-bought)
- alfalfa sprouts (as garnish)
- sea salt and pepper to taste
- In a small bowl mash up the burrata cheese to make it easy to work with
- add the chopped garlic and mix in
- add red pesto
- add salt and pepper to taste
- In a separate small bowl mash up ½ a ripe avocado
- Spread the burrata mixture on the slices of sliced bread
- dollop the mashed avocado on top
- Garnish with pickled carrot strips and alfalfa sprouts
Yummy burrata
Fresh Italian-made burrata is like nothing you can ever imagine It’s considered to be the queen of Italian cheeses and is soft, creamy, and heavenly. It was originated in the Puglia area of southern Italy.
Tartines
A tartine is what the French call an open-faced sandwich with spreadable ingredients. For the spread in this recipe. I mixed burrata cheese with a little chopped garlic and red pesto. Then, I added mashed avocado and pickled carrots and topped it with alfalfa sprouts. It takes less than 10 minutes to make.

sounds great. My daughter and her family are all vegetarians. This would be an invigorating change from the usual melted cheese sandwich. Now if I could only addict myself to break-making. Have you tried the 24 hour no-knead bread? I made it once and it was full of air holes, which I loved.
Thanks so much. Yes, this recipe is much tastier than just plain cheese with bread, although I Iove a good cheese. I haven’t tried the 24 hour no knead bread recipe but I’ve certainly heard about it and will have to try it.. I like using a starter because it goes with age old bread tradition. I’ve found it kind of fun to feed and nurture it. Call me weird. For this recipe you can use any type of bread, but I’d recommend something artisan because it tastes so much better.
