BURRATA & FIG
At Fia we craft dishes that celebrate the rich traditions of Italian cuisine while embracing the fresh, health-conscious approach that defines California’s culinary landscape. Our Burrata, Prosciutto, Fresh Figs & Heirloom Fig Mostarda is a perfect reflection of this philosophy, blending the indulgence of an Italian breakfast with the nourishing qualities that appeal to modern diners.
In Italy, breakfast is a moment of simple pleasure. It often features fresh, local ingredients that highlight the natural flavors of the Mediterranean. Burrata, with its creamy interior and delicate flavor, is a beloved staple, offering a luxurious start to the day. Paired with the salty, savory notes of prosciutto, this combination is a classic in Italian morning fare, evoking a sense of warmth and comfort.
While honoring these traditional roots, we’ve infused this dish with the vibrant spirit of California. Here, freshness is key, and ingredients are chosen not only for their flavor but also for their health benefits. Fresh figs bring a touch of natural sweetness and a wealth of nutrients, while the addition of honey adds a golden drizzle of pure indulgence, perfectly complementing the creamy burrata and savory prosciutto.
The heirloom fig mostarda in this dish is where tradition meets wellness. Mostarda, a condiment made from fruit preserved in a mustard-flavored syrup, is a classic element of Italian cuisine. We’ve elevated it by incorporating heirloom figs, known for their rich flavor and health benefits.
What makes our mostarda truly special is the inclusion of spices like anise and cinnamon, both of which have been celebrated for their health properties for centuries. Anise aids in digestion and provides a subtle licorice-like flavor, while cinnamon is rich in antioxidants and has anti-inflammatory effects. The tangy notes of vinegar and balsamic not only enhance the flavor but also offer digestive benefits, helping to balance the dish’s richness.
Our Burrata, Prosciutto, Fresh Figs & Heirloom Fig Mostarda is a dish of contrasts and harmony. The creamy burrata, salty prosciutto, and sweet figs create a dynamic interplay of flavors, while the mostarda adds a tangy, spicy kick that ties everything together. Basil oil adds a final touch of freshness, and a drizzle of honey brings a gentle sweetness that rounds out the dish. Served with our house bread, this dish invites you to experience the best of both worlds—a luxurious, indulgent meal that’s also mindful of your well-being.
At Fia, we’re inspired by the coasts that define us—the rugged, sun-drenched cliffs of California and the timeless beauty of the Italian shoreline. This dish embodies that inspiration, bringing together the traditions of Italian breakfast with the health-conscious, fresh approach that is central to California cuisine.
We invite you to savor the story behind our Burrata, Prosciutto, Fresh Figs & Heirloom Fig Mostarda. It’s more than just a dish—it’s a journey through two coasts, where tradition meets innovation, and where indulgence is perfectly balanced with wellness.
