Delight in the fresh and creamy flavors of Burrata Bruschetta with Tomato & Basil, a simple yet elegant appetizer combining toasted baguette slices topped with juicy cherry tomatoes, fragrant basil, and luscious burrata cheese, all finished with a drizzle of balsamic glaze and olive oil.

Ingredients

Bread

  • 1 loaf baguette
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided

Topping

  • 1 cup burrata cheese
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for toasting the bread.
  2. Slice and Prepare Bread: Slice the baguette into 1/2 inch thick pieces and arrange them on a baking sheet. Brush each slice evenly with olive oil to ensure golden crispiness.
  3. Toast Bread: Place the baking sheet in the oven and toast the bread slices until they are golden brown, approximately 5-7 minutes. Remove once done.
  4. Make Tomato Mixture: In a bowl, combine the halved cherry tomatoes, chopped basil, minced garlic, balsamic glaze, salt, and pepper. Toss gently to mix all flavors together.
  5. Assemble Bruschetta: Top each toasted baguette slice with a generous spoonful of the tomato mixture.
  6. Add Burrata: Place a piece of burrata cheese atop each bruschetta for creamy texture and rich flavor.
  7. Finish and Serve: Drizzle additional olive oil over the assembled bruschetta and serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of warm toast and fresh toppings.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, rub the toasted bread with a cut clove of garlic before adding toppings.
  • Use fresh, ripe cherry tomatoes for the best taste and sweetness.
  • Burrata is best served fresh and at room temperature for optimal creaminess.
  • To make this appetizer ahead, prepare the tomato mixture in advance but assemble just before serving to keep the bread crisp.
  • Balsamic glaze can be purchased or made at home by reducing balsamic vinegar until syrupy.
