Instructions

Prepare the Grill and Bread: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush both sides of each baguette slice with olive oil. Grill the slices for 1 to 2 minutes per side until they are lightly toasted and marked with grill lines. Remove and set aside.
Grill the Pineapple: Place the pineapple rings on the grill and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side until caramelized and slightly charred. Remove from the grill and cut into bite-sized chunks for easier assembly.
Make the Spicy Honey: In a small bowl, combine the honey and red pepper flakes, stirring well to infuse the honey with a gentle kick of heat.
Assemble the Crostini: On each toasted baguette slice, place a piece of torn burrata cheese, followed by several grilled pineapple chunks. Drizzle generously with the spicy honey.
Garnish and Serve: Finish each crostini with a sprinkle of chopped fresh mint leaves and a pinch of sea salt to elevate the flavors before serving immediately.

Notes

You can prepare the crostini and grill the pineapple ahead of time for easy assembly later.
Fresh mozzarella can be used as a substitute for burrata if preferred.
Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes in the honey to control the spice level to your liking.
