Burrata Bruschetta
- Heat grill pan on medium-high heat. Then, slice bread, about 1" thick. Brush both sides of the bread with olive oil. Place onto the hot grill pan. Grill the bread slices for 2-3 minutes per side or until crisp with nice grill marks.
- Take grilled bread, while it's still warm and rub both sides with garlic.
- Carefully break apart the burrata into pieces and place onto the grilled bread. Use the back of a spoon or butter knife to spread the burrata over the bread. Then, sprinkle with salt and fresh ground black pepper.
