Description
A gourmet yet simple dish featuring creamy burrata, sweet roasted tomatoes, and tangy balsamic glaze. Perfect for brunch, lunch, or as an appetizer.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of pepper
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 4 thick slices of artisan bread (sourdough or ciabatta)
- 4 ounces burrata cheese
- Fresh basil leaves
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Wash 2 cups of cherry tomatoes and pat them dry. Place them on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper, then toss to coat evenly. Spread them out in a single layer.
- Roast the tomatoes in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tomatoes are soft and slightly blistered.
- Slice 4 pieces of artisan bread about 1-inch thick. Toast the slices in a toaster or the oven until golden and crisp. If using the oven, place them on a separate baking sheet during the last 5-7 minutes of roasting the tomatoes.
- Prepare the balsamic drizzle: Pour ½ cup of balsamic vinegar into a small saucepan and simmer over low heat for 8-10 minutes until it thickens into a syrup. Let it cool slightly.
- Spread each toasted bread slice with a generous portion of burrata cheese. Top with the roasted tomatoes, letting some of the juices soak into the bread.
- Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the top and scatter fresh basil leaves for flavor and color.
- Arrange the burrata toast on a platter and serve immediately while warm.
