Honey Almond Apricot Burrata Crema

 "What did you think?”

“It was very surprising.”

 

“In what way? What do you mean?”

 

“I thought it was a poached egg. I was expecting a poached egg – and nothing sweet. I was preparing myself for egg flavor.”

 

“Well, what did you think the topping would be?”

 

“I don’t know that I THOUGHT.”

 

Well, okay. Without a real thought, the texted outcome was – “Good snack. Unique flavor.”

It’s not an egg, that’s for sure. It’s sweet. (For some reason he thought it was all about cinnamon – no cinnamon here, folks). It’s savory. It’s full of texture. It’s packed with flavor!

 

And it’s credited and inspired by my nearest and dearest food-loving friend, Kimmy, and Bagali’s in Frisco, CO.
