Toast with burrata and grilled persimmon is your new favorite lunch this season. Boring sandwich fillings? That doesn't occur to me. In fact, I believe that you can really put anything on a sandwich. From grilled vegetables and grilled fruit to all kinds of spreads (sweet/savoury) or cheeses. It can't get crazy enough with me. In the spring, for example, I made toast with burrata and grilled peach. This was an absolute hit and this recipe went viral on both Instagram and TikTok. Now I decided to make a fall version of it with persimmon!

What exactly is a persimmon? Also called Sharon fruit, a persimmon resembles a type of tomato in shape and feel. However, it tastes very different. So what does a persimmon taste like? The taste is very sweet and somewhat like a cross between peach and apricot. You eat it just like an apple. The persimmon also lends itself well to salads and so to bread. I make a delicious toast with burrata and grilled persimmon with it. Top the sandwich with parma ham, basil and a little agave syrup (or honey) and you have a fantastic lunch!
What you need:
1
2 sandwiches of your choice
1/2 bulb of burrata
1 persimmon
2 slices of parma ham
handful of basil leaves
1 tbsp agave syrup or honey
salt and pepper
small amount of olive oil
What to do:
1
Slice the persimmon. Heat a grill pan and grease very lightly with some olive oil. Grill the persimmon slices on both sides until nice grill marks appear.
2
Toast the sandwiches in the toaster (can also be done under the toaster or in the oven) and finely chop the basil.
3
Divide the burrata between the sandwiches and top with the Parma ham, grilled persimmon and basil.
4
Top with the agave syrup and a generous pinch of salt and pepper.
5
