Pancetta Lettuce And Tomato Plt With Burrata Food

BREAKFAST PLT (PANCETTA, LETTUCE & TOMATO)

Steps:

• In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring the mustard and 1/4 cup water to a simmer. Whisk in the goat cheese until combined. Set aside; the mixture will thicken as it cools.
• Toast the mini bagels until golden brown and crispy. Set aside.
• In a medium nonstick skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of the olive oil over medium heat. Add 4 slices of the pancetta and cook until golden brown and crispy on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drain the pancetta on paper towels. Repeat with the remaining pancetta.
• Heat the remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil in a small frying pan over medium-low heat. Crack 4 quail eggs into the pan, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to a plate and repeat with the remaining eggs.
• To build the PLT: Spread each bagel half with 1 tablespoon of the goat cheese sauce. Layer with a slice of pancetta, a slice of tomato, and some arugula. Top the whole thing with a fried quail egg and a grind of freshly ground black pepper. Serve.

TOMATOES AND BURRATA

Steps:

• Cut the ball of cheese in half crosswise and place the halves, cut side down, on 2 salad plates. Cut each tomato in half through the stem end and distribute them around the burrata. Drizzle the tomatoes and burrata generously with olive oil and balsamic vinegar and sprinkle with kosher salt and pepper. Scatter the basil on the salads, sprinkle with fleur de sel, and serve with Garlic Toasts.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Slice the baguette diagonally into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Depending on the size of the baguette, you should get 20 to 25 slices.
• Lay the slices in one layer on a baking sheet, brush each with olive oil, and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Bake the toasts for 15 to 20 minutes, until they are browned and crisp. As soon as they are cool enough to handle, rub one side of the toasts with the cut side of the garlic. Serve at room temperature.

FUSILLI WITH GRAPE TOMATOES AND BURRATA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook as the label directs for al dente. Reserve 3/4 cup cooking water and then drain.
• Meanwhile, heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook until just starting to brown, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and a big pinch of salt and cook, without stirring, until the tomatoes start to blister and split, 1 to 2 minutes. Continue cooking, stirring and gently smashing the tomatoes, until they break down, 2 to 4 minutes. Stir in the red pepper flakes.
• Add the pasta and 1/2 cup of the cooking water to the tomatoes. Cook over medium-high heat, gently stirring, until the pasta is well coated, 1 to 2 minutes. Add more cooking water if the pasta is dry; season with salt.
• Divide the pasta among shallow bowls. Carefully cut the burrata into quarters and place on top of the pasta. Lightly season the burrata with salt and pepper and drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Sprinkle with the oregano.

BEET CARPACCIO WITH BURRATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place the beets on a sheet of foil. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt. Wrap the foil around the beets and place on a baking sheet. Roast until tender when pierced with a knife, 50 to 60 minutes. Let cool slightly, then unwrap and rub off the skins using a paper towel.
• About 30 minutes before serving, remove the burrata from the refrigerator and let stand at room temperature. Whisk the orange juice, vinegar and shallot in a small bowl. Slowly whisk in the 2 tablespoons olive oil until emulsified.
• Thinly slice the beets and arrange in a single layer on a serving plate, overlapping slightly. Spoon the vinaigrette over the beets and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper; set aside.
• Preheat the broiler. Arrange the bread on a baking sheet and broil until toasted. Sprinkle the beets with the chives and pistachios. Place the burrata on the beets. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Serve with the toasted bread.

PLT - PANCETTA, LETTUCE AND TOMATO SANDWICH

Steps:

• Before putting together sandwich, make a plate of arugula and sliced tomatoes and set aside with unsalted butter.
