If you’re looking for a vegetarian sandwich that feels gourmet but comes together in minutes, this Eggplant Burrata Sandwich will win your heart (and your taste buds). Trust me!
It’s creamy from the burrata, bright and peppery from the arugula, nutty from the pistachios, and finished with a spicy kick that keeps you coming back for more. Every bite bursts with flavor, yet the recipe is as easy as slicing bread.
Why You’ll Love It
This isn’t your everyday sandwich.
The smooth eggplant pâté gives depth and richness, while the hot chili spread adds the perfect amount of heat. Paired with the delicate creaminess of burrata and a handful of fresh arugula, you have a layered flavor profile that’s both satisfying and exciting. The crunch of pistachios takes it to the next level.
And yes!! It's vegetarian :)
Cooking & Assembly Tips
Toast lightly, not too hard. You want a warm, crisp baguette with just enough bite to contrast the creamy burrata—avoid over-toasting or you’ll lose the sandwich’s softness.
Drain your burrata well. Too much moisture will make the bread soggy, so pat it dry with a paper towel before tearing it into pieces.
Balance the heat. The chili pepper spread is bold—start with a small drizzle and taste before adding more.
- Add greens at the right time. Place arugula on top of the pâté before the burrata to keep it crisp and fresh.
- Finish with quality olive oil. A light drizzle at the end enhances all the flavors and ties the sandwich together.
Serving Ideas
