Burrata Toast
Burrata Toast is a simple combination of burrata cheese, avocado, tomato, and egg – all arranged on a simple piece of toast. So colorful and delicious and makes the perfect breakfast!
Avocado Toast
We love Avocado Toast! In fact, we eat it for dinner about once a week. While we love the classic combination of toast, avocado, and an over-easy egg, this variation is delicious too.
It’s actually hard to think of this as a recipe, but what the heck, I wanted to share it with y’all so you could enjoy it too!
What IS burrata cheese?
I was introduced to burrata cheese (well, hello new fabulous cheese!) a couple of years ago, and I immediately fell in love. According to The Kitchn, Burrata has a solid outer curd made from fresh mozzarella, which is formed into a hollow pouch, then filled with a soft, stringy curd and fresh cream. It has a milky, buttery flavor that’s rich without being too indulgent.
In other words, burrata cheese is DELICIOUS. I’ve used it in salads, appetizers, and now, my Burrata Avocado Toast. Burrata CAN BE hard to find, depending on where you live. I’ve found it at our local Kroger and specialty stores, like Whole Foods and Sprouts.

Why This Recipe Works:
- SIMPLE – What’s more simple than making toast? You’ll need to do a little work for the toppings but that’s minimal.
- CUSTOMIZABLE – If you look on Pinterest, you’ll find so many toast combinations. Cream cheese, preserves, nut butters, fruits, veggies. You can really put ANYthing on a piece of toast which is why it’s hard to call this a recipe. It’s more like a process, or combination!
- BALANCED – You’ve got everything you need. Carbs, good fats, protein, and fruit.
Ingredients Used:
- Bread – We love using sourdough bread for burrata toast. If you’re into sourdough baking, try our favorites – Garlic Sourdough Bread, Jalapeño Cheddar Sourdough Bread, Multigrain Sourdough Bread. Or if you’d rather bake with yeast, try our Cracked Wheat Bread or Honey Wheat Bread.
- Burrata Cheese – The key ingredient. I use the 2 oz. balls of cheese for this recipe.
- Avocado – We love adding avocado to toast. Mash it or slice it – you do you.
- Egg – You can cook your eggs any way you like – hard-boiled, scrambled, or over easy.
- Optional Toppings – The sky is the limit. Try some diced tomato, Spicy Pickled Onions, spicy chili crisps, Everything Bagel Seasoning, etc.
How to make Burrata Toast:
Step 1
Prep toppings. If you’re making hard-boiled eggs, you a prep those in advance. Otherwise, scramble or cook the eggs the way you want them. Prep the avocado. Drain the cheese (as it’s packaged in liquid) and let it set out for about 20 minutes so it’s easer to spread, chop veggies.
Step 2
Make the toast. Add a couple slices of toast to your toaster right before you’re ready to eat. Toast to your liking and add a butter spread.
Step 3
Add toppings. Then add toppings (burrata, avocado, egg, tomato, etc.) to the toast in any pattern you like. Then add a good dash of salt, pepper, or Everything Bagel Seasoning.
Optional Toppings:
- Spicy Pickled Onions
- Meats – like prosciutto, ham, salami, etc.
- Other – Try some shredded parmesan, spicy chili crisps, or others.
Recipe FAQs:
Take the burrata out of the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes to soften slightly. This will make it easier to spread on the toast.
You can customize your burrata toast with toppings like prosciutto, roasted red peppers, arugula, or even a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes for some heat.
Serve the burrata toast immediately while it’s still warm, either as an appetizer, snack, or light meal. It pairs well with a glass of wine or as part of a brunch spread.
Make sure to use good quality ingredients, especially ripe tomatoes and fresh basil. Be gentle when handling the burrata cheese to prevent it from breaking apart too much. Serve toast immediately!
