Substitutions
- You can substitute the prosciutto for any of your favorite cold meats, such as salami, mortadella (my personal fave) or calabrese.
- If you can’t find the smaller burrata balls, you can cut a larger one in half or quarters to top the crostini. You can also use fresh mozzarella.
🔥Chef Nadia’s Tip🔥
Most burrata comes in a small bag, you can place this in a bowl of warm water to warm up the burrata so it’s nice and creamy when you spread it on the toast.

This was so good, and easy to make. The only change I made was I chopped the prosciutto. I will definitely make this again.
