This Creamy Burrata Toast with a homemade Tomatillo Salsa is full of flavor!
This Creamy Burrata Toast with Tomatillo Salsa is a fresh, tangy twist on a classic cheese toast. Thick slices of toasted bread are topped with luscious burrata, its rich center spilling over the edges. A spoonful of bright, zesty tomatillo salsa cuts through the creaminess, adding a pop of acidity and a touch of heat that wakes up the palate with every bite.
This dish beautifully balances bold flavors and contrasting textures—crunchy toast, silky cheese, and juicy salsa. The tomatillo brings a refreshing brightness that pairs perfectly with the mild, milky burrata, making it a standout option for brunch or a light lunch. Finished with a drizzle of olive oil and fresh herbs, it’s simple yet full of vibrant character.
