When we were planning our recent trip to NYC my husband and I realized we needed to visit Boston, it’s so close to NYC and neither of us had ever been. So after leaving the Big Apple we headed to Bean Town, and boy did we love this city!
Boston is rich in history, there is always something to do and see…not to mention, eat….like this Burrata Toast for instance. I am going to bestow all it’s virtues to you momentarily, but first…

Boston: Where We Stayed, What We Did, And Where We Ate
We stayed at The Revere Hotel in the heart of Boston, walking distance from Boston Commons, The Freedom Trail, Beacon Hill, great shopping, and restaurants.
We only had five days to get it all done, so we spent two days touring the historical sites…
…. one day shopping on Newbury Street, eating fabulous food, touring the gorgeous neighborhood of Beacon Hill, and taking a Duck Boat Tour (trust me, sounds super weird, but so fun!) And then we hit up the most amazing Farmers Market I have ever seen! It went on for blocks and blocks.
We also took two-day trips, one to Martha’s Vineyard (click for my crab cakes!) and the other, to Concord. We had a fantastic lunch at the Historic Colonial Inn. I had the most perfect Salmon and Quinoa Salad and my husband had a great burger. I highly recommend it!
My other eating recommendations: If you love Italian food and great ambiance, make a reservation for Sportello ! We loved everything about this restaurant from the creative food choices to the communal seating. And in the five days we were in Boston we ate three of our meals at The Met Back Bay. Two of those meals were breakfasts, they were just so good we had to go back! I ordered Burrata Toast, which came with a poached egg and a side of potatoes. Eating breakfast at The Met inspired me to create the following recipe, I know, most people think of baked beans when they think of Boston, I think ‘Burrata toast!’
Burrata Toast is The New Avocado Toast . . .
Burrata Toast is similar to avocado toast, but instead of spreading creamy avocado on artisan bread and then adding toppings, we spread creamy Burrata cheese on artisan bread and add toppings…including avocado!
Burrata cheese is a combination of fresh mozzarella and cream. It’s simply dreamy. You can top the Burrata with freshly diced tomatoes, red or colorful heirlooms. You can leave it as is, or add avocado, then drizzle with sweet, rich, balsamic glaze! Add micro-greens or basil and voila! A beautiful, colorful breakfast, lunch, light dinner or appetizer!
Of course there is always the option of adding the perfectly poached egg, because why the heck not?
The Recipe: Boston Inspired Burrata Toast
Tips and what you need: it’s all about the tomatoes so use the freshest and best (any variety, any color). Learn to poach the perfect egg here. Micro-greens are available in the produce sections of some grocery stores. Micro-greens are simply baby sprouts of kale, broccoli, etc… They are loaded with nutrients. I also use fresh basil, which is delicious, so whatever is accessible and floats your boat! You will need a toaster, a good knife, balsamic glaze and sea salt. I buy the tub, it’s a real money saver and lasts forever!

- One loaf artisan bread sliced and toasted
- 8 oz burrata cheese
- Diced tomatoes your choice of variety and color
- Avocado diced (optional)
- Balsamic glaze
- sea salt
- freshly ground pepper
- poached eggs optional
- microgreens or sliced basil
-
Toast bread, spread with burrata cheese, top with diced tomatoes (and avocado if desired) microgreens or basil. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and sprinkle with sea salt and pepper. If you want to add a poached egg, do! (see video link above)

For years, I’ve attended herb conferences in the Boston area but have never spent any time in the city. I’ve always wanted to do so and your travel notes have inspired me to make a point to visit!!
Any version of the ‘toasts’ above, look so scrumptious!
On the hunt for Burrata cheese! Thanks.
I have to try Burrata. Still haven’t yet but this post will definitely put that cheese on my shopping list next time. Glad you had a great time in Boston! I love that city too! Can’t wait to see your Martha’s Vineyard pics!
We are headed to Boston this summer. Thanks for the food recommendations. This recipe sounds yummy.
Awesome! Have a great time!
This looks so delicious – especially with that beautifully poached egg on top!
Looks like you had a fun trip! And this is such a pretty toast. I would love it with all the fresh tomatoes in season!
Boston is my all time favorite city! It is so much fun. I have never heard of that toast before though. YUM! Sounds so good!
Love Beacon Hill and the duck boat tour sounds fun. We love toast fixed like this so fresh and delicious. Will have to make this for myself just because.
Oh my gosh my mouth is watering this looks so good!!! I need to make this asap! The egg is such a great touch.

Give me ALL the burrata! This sounds perfect!
Boston is one of my favorite cities. I LOVE it! My sister in law lives there and I love visiting! There is a restaurant in Denver that has great burrata, I really want to go get some and make this toast!
Burrata… drool!
Love Boston. Looks like you had a great time. 🙂
All of the chunky vegetables atop of the artisan toast sounds heavenly as well as filling. I’ve yet to travel to Boston, I hear it’s a dynamic city
This looks amazing! I love burrata – it’s seriously so good. It looks like you had a great time on your trip!
The food looks mouth watering.
That burrata cheese!!! Yes please! These are so beautiful, and your poached egg on top is so lovely too.
It looks tasty! I haven’t tried one though.. I’m going to add this in my to-do-and-to-eat list. Lol thanks for sharing!
So many cities I want to visit, including Boston! Sound like you hit some great spots. Burrata looks heavenly with all those chunky toppings!
How much fun is this? Looks like you had a blast!
So beautiful plus you’re using my favorite cheese ever so I’m totally in! Glad you liked our city! It’s funny, everyone that comes to Boston does the Duck Boats, they’re iconic and yet I’ve never been on one! I have to make one small correction though, it’s “Newbury St” not Newberry. Sorry, had to mention it.
Thanks for the correction!
This recipe looks so vibrant and delicious. I am biased towards tomatoes, but, this is still a perfect recipe.
Looks delicious – can’t wait to try it! Adding the egg even makes it more interesting – thanks for sharing!
Adding an egg makes everything more interesting! Thanks!
