Ingredients
- 2 large balls burrata or 4 small balls
- 1 baguette sliced either into large squares or rectangles and cut down the centers or cut on an angle into ½ inch oval slices.
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3-4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes cut in half
- ¼ red onion cut thinly and diced
- ½ cup fresh basil torn or chopped
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 teaspoon sea salt to taste
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- For serving: balsamic glaze olive oil, fresh basil, flaky sea salt, cracked black pepper, etc.
Instructions
- Slice your baguette to your liking (either into large squares or rectangles and cut down the centers or cut on an angle into ½ inch oval slices.) Lightly oil both sides and toast it up! Set aside on a plate for later.
- Slice your cherry tomatoes in half down the middle, slice your red onion thinly and dice, mince garlic cloves, chop or tear fresh basil leaves, and juice your lemon.
- In a mixing bowl, combine cherry tomatoes, onion, basil, garlic, lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, sea salt, and black pepper. Ensure everything is coated well!
- Cut open your burrata balls and spread it across the top side of each piece of toasted bread.
- Carefully spoon your cherry tomato mixture on to each slice of bread. Serve on a platter or large charcuterie board for guests to take from and enjoy.
- Optional: Drizzle more balsamic glaze, olive oil, salt and pepper to taste! I like to add more balsamic glaze for taste and the aesthetic.
Notes
- To make ahead: If you want to prep this burrata bruschetta beforehand, you can prep the bread and the tomato topping but only assemble the bruschetta just before you want to serve it. If you make it in advance and let it sit, the bread will get soggy.
- Finely diced veggies: Bruschetta is easier to eat if the toppings are finely diced into small pieces.
- Use the best ingredients: For the utmost flavor, local, seasonal tomatoes are ideal.
- Store leftovers separately: It is best not to store the bread topped with the bruschetta as the bread will get soggy. If possible, store them separately in airtight containers in the fridge.
