Ingredients: 

Stracciatella:

• 1 8 oz ball of mozzarella

• Salt to taste

Assemble:

• 6-8 slices of bread; I used an Italian loaf cut into small pieces

• 1-2 tbsp olive oil or olive oil spray

• 2-3 tomatoes thinly sliced; I used heirloom tomatoes

• Chili oil to drizzle

Directions: 

Stracciatella:

1. Take a mozzarella ball and break it into small pieces. Pour heavy cream over it enough to cover it. Season with salt and mix.

2. Cover and let it set in the fridge for 5-7 hours.

Assemble:

1. Preheat the oven to 375F.

2. On a baking tray, place sliced bread and drizzle/spray olive oil over it.

3. Bake for 7-9 mins, flipping it mid-way till toasty.

4. Top the toasted bread with arugula.

5. Top it with the Stracciatella.

6. Crackle pepper over the cheese.

7. Top with tomato slices and then season with salt.

8. Drizzle some balsamic vinegar glaze and chili oil over the toast.

Notes/Tips:

• Use any bread that would crisp up well.

• Top the bread when ready to serve as it can get soggy.

• You can keep the Stracciatella in the fridge for 3 days.

• Freshly cracked pepper and salt make a lot of difference.

• Make sure the mozzarella pieces are small!

• Adding more cream gives a looser texture to the Stracciatella.
