Ingredients

10 slices good quality baguette or Italian bread
olive oil for brushing and drizzling
6 plums medium, cored and sliced
salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons honey
4-5 fresh thyme sprigs plus leaves for garnish
10 pieces prosciutto such as Parma, thinly sliced
2 small balls of burrata room temperature
flaky sea salt for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Brush each piece of bread with olive oil on both sides, then arrange on a sheet pan.
Add the plums to another sheet pan, season with salt and pepper, drizzle with honey and a little bit of olive oil, add the thyme sprigs, then use your hands to toss until coated.
Place the bread and the plums in the oven and bake until the bread is lightly toasted, about 10 minutes, and until the plums are caramelized, about 20 minutes. Remove the thyme sprigs from the plums, and while still warm, transfer them to a bowl.
Arrange the toasted bread on a platter, then drape a piece of prosciutto over each one.
Spoon the plums on each, then use your hands to break apart pieces of the burrata and lay over top.
Sprinkle with some fresh thyme leaves and drizzle with more olive oil and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt, if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Remove the bread from the oven before the plums are done so it doesn’t over-toast, look for golden edges.
Let the burrata come to room temperature before serving for the best texture and flavor.
Finish with flaky sea salt and an extra drizzle of olive oil to bring out every layer of flavor.
Use ripe but firm plums so they hold their shape while roasting.
