Ingredients:

• 4-6 strawberries, sliced very thin

Balsamic Strawberries

• 1 1/2 cups strawberries, quartered
• 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 1 tbsp honey
• ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
• kosher salt

Instructions:

1. First prepare the balsamic strawberries. Combine the strawberries, balsamic vinegar, honey, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes.
2. Reduce the heat to medium low and cook for about 20 more minutes, stirring often. It should become thick and jam-like (reduce the heat to low if needed). Turn off the heat and let cool about 10 minutes.
3. While the balsamic strawberries are cooling, combine the sliced strawberries, hot honey, lemon juice, basil, a pinch of salt, and a drizzle of olive oil in a small bowl. Toss to combine and let marinate for 10 minutes.
4. Halve the burrata on two pieces of gf toast. Spread the mozzarella cream to cover the pieces. Add a healthy helping of the balsamic strawberries before placing the marinated strawberries on top. Drizzle with a little more olive oil and finish with cracked black pepper.
5. Store the leftover balsamic strawberries in the refrigerator for future slices or serve on ice cream. 😍
