Crispy Pancetta, Burrata and Tomato Sandwich
Thank you Bon Appetit for this great recipe for the summer. Let us know how the recipe went, we love feed back.Â
Ingredients
- 4 (3-ounce) packages thinly sliced pancetta (Italian bacon)
- 6 (3- to 4-inch-diameter, 3/4-inch-thick) slices ripe Costoluto Genovese tomatoes or other ripe red heirloom tomatoes
- 1/2 cup (packed) coarsely torn fresh basil leaves
- 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon fleur de sel or coarse kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 12 (4 x 4 x 1/2-inch) slices egg bread or brioche, lightly toasted
- 18 ounces burrata cheese
- 4 cups (about) baby arugula or mixed microgreens
Preparation
-
Working in batches, cook pancetta in heavy large skillet over medium heat until brown and crisp, about 6 minutes per batch. Transfer to paper towels to drain. DO AHEAD Can be made 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.
-
Place tomato slices in shallow baking dish. Add basil, olive oil, oregano, and fleur de sel. Sprinkle with ground black pepper and turn to coat. Let stand at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour.
-
Place 6 toasted bread slices on work surface. Divide burrata among bread slices and spread to edges. Top each with 1 tomato slice, then pancetta slices, dividing equally. Top with arugula. Cover with remaining 6 toasted bread slices, and press each slightly to adhere. Cut each sandwich in half and serve.
I wanted to let you know that I have made this recipe and it is to die for….completely delicious! You will want to make this sandwich over and over!

Monica,
I got the last two tubs of Burrata last Thursday after receiving this recipe from you. It just sounded so good I had to make a stop, and just made it to the store as you were closing.
I was hosting a reunion over the weekend, and planned to make it for my guests. Unfortunately, (or perhaps fortunately) I was too busy to pull it off while everyone was there.
After they all left, I made for my family, to rave reviews! Since everyone was gone, we got to have it twice. Yum!
Thanks for running a great store, and supporting the town.
Sincerely,
Leno
