Mornings Lately

Lately things have been a little go-go-go. Emails, errands, my brain doing laps before I’ve had breakfast. So I’ve been looking for anything that helps me slow down without needing a whole morning routine spreadsheet. A clean counter helps. So does real food. And yes, taking a breath before opening Instagram counts.

This toast has been my little reset. It’s easy. It’s grounding. And it makes me feel like I have my life together, even if just for ten minutes.

A slice of sourdough toast topped with burrata cheese, drizzled with honey, and garnished with almonds, chia seeds, and bee pollen. Served on a neutral-toned plate with a black fork.

Quick Nourishment, Burrata-Style

Burrata Toast with Honeyed Magic

This one comes together in under 10 minutes and feels like a little reset on a plate. No complicated prep. No fancy steps. Just ingredients with texture, warmth, and a little sweetness.

Here’s what I use:

One slice of toasted sourdough
A generous layer of burrata (ripped open so it spreads)
Raw honey drizzled over top
A sprinkle of chia seeds
Crushed almonds
Flaky sea salt
Bee pollen to finish

It checks all the boxes. Creamy, crunchy, salty, sweet. The kind of thing you’d expect to order at a cute café, but surprise — you made it in your own kitchen in under ten minutes. It’s a small, satisfying way to feel more in your body and a little more like yourself.

If you’re curious about bee pollen or want more ways to sprinkle some extra goodness into your meals, Bee Pollen Bliss: Nature’s Golden Crystals dives into the why and how. It also includes a few more easy, beautiful recipes you can actually make on a busy day.

How to Make Burrata Toast with Honeyed Magic 🪄

This version is quick, beautiful, and easy to adapt. Here's how to bring it together:

Ingredients:

1 slice of sourdough (or your favorite rustic bread)
Olive oil spray or a light drizzle
1 ball of fresh burrata
1 tsp raw honey
1 tsp chia seeds
A small handful of raw almonds
A pinch of bee pollen
Flaky sea salt (optional)

Directions:

Prep your toast: Cut a thick slice of sourdough and lightly spray or brush both sides with olive oil.
Toast it up: Warm a pan over medium heat and toast the bread until golden and crispy, flipping halfway so both sides are evenly browned.
Burrata time: Place the toast on a plate and gently cut open the burrata, letting the creamy center spread across the surface.
Layer the goodness: Drizzle raw honey over the cheese, sprinkle with chia seeds, and add a pinch of sea salt if desired.
Top it off: Finish with a few almonds and a soft dusting of bee pollen.

Serve immediately while the toast is warm and the burrata is soft.

For the Days That Feel Off

There are days when toast is the easiest yes. No fuss. No overthinking. Just something warm, simple, and quietly supportive. It doesn’t have to be fancy to feel good. Sometimes sitting down and eating something real is more than enough.

Make It Your Own

Want to try it? Here’s how.

Use any crusty bread you love
Swap burrata for ricotta or labneh if that’s what you’ve got
No bee pollen? No problem. It’s optional but lovely
Let your body guide you. Don’t worry about perfect balance
Stack it. Eat it. Enjoy the pause

Rooted in Care

Because how we start the day shapes the rest of it.
Because food is information, energy, and care.
Because wellness isn’t about doing more. It’s about choosing what actually supports you.
