Grocery List & Prep Guide for Burrata Crostini
Now that you’ve seen the full menu — from the Burrata Crostini appetizer, to Pineapple Quinoa, Honey Garlic Ginger Glazed Green Beans, Baked Halibut with Coconut Jalapeño Lime Sauce, and ending with Lemon Mascarpone Mousse — it’s time to get organized for cooking.
Here’s everything you’ll need to start the week with the appetizer while keeping the rest of the menu in mind:
Grocery List (Appetizer Focus)
1 baguette, sliced into ½-inch rounds
8 oz burrata cheese
2 ripe peaches
2 tbsp fig jam
1 tsp honey
Pinch of garlic powder
Fresh basil leaves
Extra-virgin olive oil
Flaky sea salt
Optional Prep for Rest of Menu:
Side & Vegetable: Quinoa, coconut milk, green beans, almonds, green onions, honey, garlic, ginger
Main Course: Halibut fillets, shallots, jalapeños, limes, coconut milk, cilantro
Dessert: Cottage cheese, mascarpone, lemons, egg whites, heavy cream, honey
Prep-Ahead Tips (Appetizer First):
1–2 hours ahead: Smash burrata with garlic powder and a small drizzle of honey. Store covered in the fridge.
2 hours ahead: Caramelize peaches and allow to cool.
Just before serving: Toast crostini and assemble the appetizer.
Pro Tip: Prepping the appetizer first is smart — it’s quick to assemble and sets a beautiful tone for the rest of the meal. Keep ingredients for sides, main, and dessert organized for smooth cooking later in the week.
Warmly,
