Crostini Burrata Cherry Tomato (Printer Friendly)

Toasted bread paired with creamy burrata, roasted cherry tomatoes, basil, and olive oil for a flavorful bite.

# What You Need:

→ Bread

01 - 1 baguette, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds (approximately 12-16 slices)
02 - 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

→ Topping

03 - 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
04 - 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
05 - 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
06 - Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
07 - 8 ounces burrata cheese
08 - 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, torn
09 - Flaky sea salt for finishing, optional

# Directions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Arrange baguette slices on the baking sheet. Brush both sides lightly with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Toast in the oven for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
03 - In a bowl, toss cherry tomatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Spread on a separate section of the baking sheet or use a second sheet. Roast for 10-12 minutes, until tomatoes are softened and just beginning to burst.
04 - Remove bread and tomatoes from the oven. Allow to cool slightly before assembling.
05 - Gently tear the burrata cheese and spoon onto each toasted bread slice. Top with roasted cherry tomatoes.
06 - Scatter fresh basil over the crostini and finish with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt if desired. Serve immediately.
