Recipe Notes
How to storeIf you're planning to make your burrata toast ahead, toast the bread up to 30 minutes before serving. If it sits too long, it will become stale and hard instead of firm and crispy as a toast should be! Moreover, only place the topping right before serving; otherwise, your toast will become soggy! Only make enough to eat right away!
