Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 375°F. Spread baguette slices on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil (don't drench them, dry areas are ok) and sprinkle with salt as desired.

• Layer the following on top of each toasted crostini: 1-2 tablespoons of burrata, freshly ground black pepper, a pinch of salt flakes, 3-4 blackberries, a drizzle of the mint mixture, and a drizzle of honey. Top with additional mint leaves and salt flakes as desired. Serve immediately.
