Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 4 thick slices sourdough bread
- 1 ball burrata cheese (about 8 oz)
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp honey
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss cherry tomatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for 15-20 minutes until blistered and softened.
- While tomatoes roast, heat balsamic vinegar and honey in a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until reduced to a syrupy glaze. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Brush sourdough slices with remaining olive oil and toast in a skillet or toaster until golden and crispy on both sides. Rub each slice with minced garlic while warm.
- Place toasted sourdough on plates. Tear burrata into pieces and divide among toasts. Top with blistered tomatoes.
- Drizzle with balsamic glaze, garnish with fresh basil, and season with additional salt and pepper if desired. Serve immediately.
