What’s not to love about this colorful persimmon bruschetta? Toasty bread, creamy burrata, peppery arugula, sweet persimmons and juicy pomegranates come together to create an unforgettable bite. The wintery flavors coupled with the pops of seasonal color make this a particularly perfect appetizer for holiday celebrations.
Also, you can never have too many easy holiday recipes in your back pocket! This one is so easy you’ll barely need a recipe to make it! I’ve provided one anyway, though. It’s the type of recipe you’ll probably only need to look at once, and then have it memorized for next time- it’s that easy!
This Persimmon Bruschetta recipe is brought to you by my friends at LGS Sales- I’ve been partnering with them for over a year now! Together we’ve brought you delightful citrus recipes such as my Citrus Sweet Rolls, Clementine Mezcal Margaritas and Lemon Herb Focaccia. However, for this partnership we’re going a different route and highlighting their gorgeous persimmons. The mellow sweetness of their Spanish-vanilla variety (a cross between the more common hachiya and fuyu varieties) shines in this wintery bruschetta.
How to store persimmons and the best time to enjoy them
Persimmons can be stored at room temperature on the kitchen counter for approximately 7 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. This particular variety will have deep red-orange undertones with plump, glossy skin when they are ready to eat. The flesh will be firm and crisp with a sweet, honey-like flavor. Enjoy them within a day or two once ripe.
What you’ll need to make Persimmon Bruschetta
- French baguette
- Burrata cheese
- Persimmons
- Arugula
- Pomegranate arils
- Olive oil
- Flaky salt
Can I make this recipe in ahead of time?
You can certainly bake the crostini slices a day in advance. Be sure to keep them in an airtight container until ready to use. You can gently reheat them for a couple of minutes in a 350 degree F oven if you’d like.
I recommend assembling the bruschetta with the burrata and other toppings just before serving. They will taste better if they haven’t been sitting out long. Luckily the assembly is a breeze, as no other cooking is involved besides toasting the baguette slices.
