Burrata Bruschetta
Ingredients:
For the Tomato Topping:
2 cups baby tomatoes, quartered or chopped
1/4 cup chopped or torn fresh basil leaves
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano (optional)
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
For the Burrata Bruschetta Toasts:
6–8 thick slices ciabatta, sourdough, or other crusty bread (sliced at an angle, about 1/2–3/4 inch / 1.5 cm thick)
Olive oil, for brushing
1 garlic clove, cut in half
Salt and pepper
8 ounces (227 grams) burrata cheese, drained and patted dry
For the Garnish:
Balsamic glaze
Additional drizzle of olive oil (optional)
Fresh basil leaves
Flaky sea salt (like Maldon salt)
Instructions:
Make the Tomato Topping:
In a mixing bowl, combine all the tomato topping ingredients (tomatoes, basil, garlic, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, oregano, salt, and pepper). Toss well to combine and set aside to marinate while you prepare the bread.
Prepare the Bread:
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the bread slices in a single layer on a baking sheet. Brush with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake for 10-15 minutes until golden and crisp. Alternatively, grill the bread slices. Remove from the oven and rub the surface of each toast with the cut end of the garlic clove while still warm.
Assemble the Bruschetta:
Tear open the burrata and divide it between the toasted bread slices. Spread the creamy center with the back of a spoon. Spoon the marinated tomato topping over each slice, trying not to add too much liquid. Garnish with a drizzle of balsamic glaze, extra olive oil if desired, fresh basil leaves, and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt.
Serve:
Serve the burrata bruschetta immediately as a fresh, flavorful appetizer.
