Grilled Caprese Toast with Burrata Cheese + Grilled Avocados.
No cooking them, or adding tons of spices or anything like that. Nope, I went classic... with a little twist because burrata cheese is mozzarella's creamy cousin and well, you can never go wrong with adding avocados. Especially when grilling is involved.

Balsamic Drizzle
- Add vinegar and brown sugar, if using, to a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce to a very low simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes, until liquid reduces by about half and is slightly syrupy. Remove from heat, pour vinegar in a bowl or glass to pour, and set aside to cool and thicken.
Toast
