Slice and Toast the Bread
Fresh baguette or rustic bread toasted
Olive oil
Mozzarella pearls
Stracciatella or Burrata
Colorful cherry tomatoes
Basil
Chives
Flaky sea salt
Slice and Toast the Bread
Slice your baguette or rustic loaf into ½-inch thick pieces.
Brush lightly with olive oil on both sides.
Toast or grill until golden and crisp on the edges but still soft inside.
💡Tip: A grill pan gives beautiful char marks!
For the Daisies
Prepare the Mozzarella & Stracciatella
While the bread cools slice your mozzarella pearls into 3 slices to create the petals
Prepare the tomatoes
Slice the cherry tomato in half to create the center of the daisy. I used yellow tomatoes but red or orange would work great as well
Prepare the Toast
Start by placing a basil leaf down to create a stem for the daisy
Then place the cut mozzarella pearls in the shape of a flower then in the center of the shape, add in your sliced cherry tomato for the center of the flower
For the Tulips
Prepare Stracciatella
For extra creaminess, you can add a splash of olive oil, salt, and a bit of lemon zest.
Generously spread the stracciatella onto each toasted slice.
Prepare the tomatoes
Using a serrated knife, slice the tomatoes from one side half way through then rotate the tomato and slice halfway through again. This will give the “tulip shape” (be sure to watch the video below to see what I’m talking about!)
Prepare the Toast
Generously spread the stracciatella onto each toasted slice.
Make sure to cover to the edges—it’s your “canvas” for decorating!
Then place 2 tomatoes on top of the toast closer to the top of the bread
Add Fresh Herbs
Add a strand of a chive to the bottom of each tomato to create the “stem” of the tulip
Then use a small leaf of a basil plant and add it to the side of the chive to create leaves on the chive stem. Add as many as you would like to create the real look of a flower stem
Finish with Flaky Salt & Honey
Sprinkle each bruschetta with flaky sea salt.
For a touch of sweetness, drizzle lightly with honey (optional but highly recommended!).
Serve & Enjoy!
Arrange your flower bruschetta on a serving board or platter.
Serve immediately so the bread stays crisp.
