Double Garlic and Burrata Bread
If you don’t like garlic, this recipe isn’t for you.
Prep Time: 5ish min
Cook Time: 60ish min
Yield: 4ish servings
Ingredients
2 tbsp butter
1 head + 3 big cloves of garlic
1 large ball of burrata (or 2 small ones)
4 slices of sourdough
salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Roast the garlic! Preheat the oven to 400°F. Peel off the papery outer layers of the whole garlic bulb, making sure the bulb stays in tact. Cut about 1/4” off the top of cloves, exposing the individual cloves of garlic. Wrap the entire bulb in foil and pop it in the oven for 45min, or until the cloves are golden brown and soft.
Squeeze the roasted garlic out of the bulb into a small bowl and mash until it’s a smooth paste. Add a pinch of salt here if you want.
While the oven is still hot, throw in your sliced sourdough and toast until it’s light golden brown. You can also do this in the toaster.
While the bread toasts, make the brown butter garlic topping. Melt the butter in a small saucepan. Shave the remaining 3 garlic cloves into little chips using a mandoline slicer or a vegetable peeler. Once the butter is melted, add in the shaved garlic and cook until they are brown and crispy, making sure to swirl the pan occasionally. Keep an eye on this as it happens fast!
Assemble! Spread the roasted garlic onto the toasted bread. Then layer on a generous portion of burrata. Spoon some of the crispy garlic chips on top, making sure to get a bit of that brown butter on there as well. Finish with a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
Eat! Enjoy! Come back for seconds!
