While the burrata toast is best enjoyed fresh, you can prep the ingredients in advance. Slice the tomatoes and tear the burrata ahead of time, but assemble the toast just before serving to ensure the bread stays crispy.
For a spicier kick, you can add red pepper flakes, as suggested in the recipe. Alternatively, you can also drizzle a little hot honey or add some thinly sliced fresh chili peppers on top for an extra layer of heat.
