Description

Grilled Black Mission figs are paired with fresh, creamy Burrata cheese, and served on Italian bread with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar.

Ingredients

12 Black Mission figs, halved lengthwise
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

6 (1/2 inch thick) slices Italian bread, toasted
sea salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

1 Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
