Preparation

1 Cut the zucchinis into quarters lengthways and cut out the seeds. Cut the quarters into small cubes and lightly salt in a bowl to remove the water.

2 Cut the bread (we recommend our natural wheat rustic) into slices and dice. Toast the bread cubes in a contact grill or frying pan until golden brown.

  1. Halve the tomatoes and place in a mixing bowl with the bread and zucchinis. Spread the olive oil and balsamic vinegar evenly over the tomatoes and season lightly with salt and pepper. Mix everything once.

  2. pour the mixture into a deep plate.

  3. pluck the basil leaves (approx. 5 pieces) and sprinkle over the salad.

  4. finally, cut the burrata in half and place in the middle of the salad.

Pita is the classic flatbread of Mediterranean cuisine. Baked in a clay oven at very high heat, it has a soft crust, relatively little crumb and forms the characteristic pocket. The same airy effect is achieved on the hot cast iron plates of the Milantoast contact grill - and so we fill our flatbreads with delicious falafel made from beluga lentils as well as refreshing mint yogurt and mixed salad.
