Burrata Bruschetta Tomato Basil
Creamy burrata on warm, toasted bread topped with juicy cherry tomatoes, fresh basil, and a splash of olive oil—fast, fresh bruschetta with maximum flavor.
Ingredients
- Bread slices sourdough or baguette
- Burrata cheese or ricotta alternative
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil chopped (or whole leaves)
- Olive oil for brushing and drizzling
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- Red pepper flakes optional
- Balsamic glaze optional
Instructions
- Brush both sides of each bread slice with olive oil. Bake at 400°F for 5 minutes, until the edges are golden but the center stays a little soft. Or use a grill pan for grill marks.
- Cut cherry tomatoes in half. Mix them in a bowl with olive oil, chopped basil, salt, and black pepper. Let it sit for 5 minutes.
- Tear the burrata and spread it on the warm toasted bread. Spoon the tomato mixture on top, letting the juices soak in.
- Drizzle with olive oil or balsamic glaze. Add basil leaves and red pepper flakes if you like. Serve right away.
