That’s because my daughter had this for breakfast our first morning in San Francisco, just before boarding the ferry to Alcatraz. Here’s that photo of the avocado toast with burrata and egg from Norcina, a modern Italian cafe near the Embarcadero.

So many of you commented on this photo when I shared it on my Instagram story that I decided to make it at home and share it with you. All credit goes to Norcina Cafe for the recipe idea.

FULL PRINTABLE RECIPE BELOW

Ingredients

  • ciabatta roll, cut in half, toasted
  • a few tablespoonfuls of burrata (make sure it’s good quality like Di Stefano)
  • one ripe avocado, peeled and cut in half lengthwise and then cut into slices, but left intact
  • one egg, organic and free range (if possible)
  • sea salt
  • (optional: poppy seeds, Everything but the Bagel seasoning, or anything similar)

Put the egg in a pot with cold water so that it’s covered (with water). Bring to a boil, remove from heat and cover. For soft boiled, remove the egg and put in cold water at 1 1/2 to 2 minute mark. Remove at 2 1/2 minutes for a more cooked egg. 

Note: you can use a pre-cooked egg, but the warm egg on this really adds to the enjoyment of this sandwich. 

While the egg is cooking, spread burrata on the ciabatta toast.

However, go ahead and sprinkle with seeds, seaweed flakes, etc. The original sandwich from Norcina included a little bit of chopped bacon. I omitted it to keep it vegetarian because I don’t think it’s necessary, but you definitely could “gild the lily” if you chose.
