Fancy Toast #2
Strawberry Burrata Toast
Yay! I love this combination of flavors. It’s so Italian and lovely. I’m going to guide you through how to make this, even thought it’s super simple and I have no measurements. So technically this is not a recipe but a flavor guide? I don’t know just go with it.
Ok so I started with reducing balsamic vinegar and honey. Now beware, it will stink the house and kitchen up. It’s vinegar. I had a hard time breathing and keeping my eyes open when it was boiling. It took about 10ish minutes. Pull it off the stove when it coats the back of spoon. Side note- I’m obsessed with honey. I don’t know why it’s taken me so long?
Next I cut up strawberries put them in a bowl, prepared the burrata by putting it in a container and sort of mixing it around so it was spreadable, then toasted the bread. Spread the burrata on the bread, then strawberries, drizzle the reduced balsamic and top with basil! My dad grows a bunch of stuff and he gave me this micro basil. It’s powerful and full of basil flavor. Not sure if the above was necessary but I wanted to document my toast week.
New TV recommendation- Ted Lasso. I can’t recommend this show enough. All of the characters play their characters perfectly. Ted is the sweetest man in the history of the world, Keeley- I need to be friend with you. I wish you were real. I love the Brit’s. I talked about another British production in my last post too!
I’m slowly working on a media packet. Let me tell you. this is not easy. I need to pick my “brand” colors, text, solidify what I am going to charge and what it entails. But it needs to be done. I’m trying to chip away each day at one item so I don’t get overwhelmed. I’m realzing there are a lot of tasks that can’t be rushed. You do have to put thought into why you want things to look a certain way because it’s a representation of you! So I’m trying to not rush the process. I’m also taking my time styling photos. I was getting into the habit of rushing through the process and I don’t want to do that anymore!
Music- Methodman & Redman were on verzuz last night. I love rap ps. IT WAS GOOD!!!! You’re welcome.
