Description

This recipe is wonderfully adaptable. If you don’t have prosciutto, try using vegetarian option like grilled zucchini. For a twist, spread a layer of pesto on the toast before adding the tomatoes and burrata. You can also experiment with different types of bread; sourdough or wholegrain make excellent bases for this burrata on toast creation.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  1. 200g Vine Ripened Tomatoes Cherry, whole
  2. 3 cloves of Garlic, 2 crushed and one for rubbing the toast
  3. 2 tablespoons Olive Oil, plus extra for brushing bread.
  4. Sea salt and pepper, to taste
  5. 1 loaf Baguette or Ciabatta, sliced into 1.5 cm thick pieces.
  6. Burrata Cheese, one whole piece
  7. 100 grams Prosciutto, thinly sliced.
  8. 1 cup Fresh Basil Leaves, torn
  9. Balsamic Glaze, for drizzling.


Instructions

Remove the burrata from the fridge 30 minutes before serving to allow it to reach room temperature, enhancing its creamy texture and flavour.  

Roast the Tomatoes: 

  • Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
  • Use a baking dish that doubles as a serving dish, like a cast iron skillet.
  • Toss whole cherry tomatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, ½ teaspoon of sea salt, ¼ teaspoon of pepper, and 2 crushed garlic cloves until evenly coated. 
  • Pop them in the oven for about 10 minutes until they start to burst and get all juicy.

Toast the Bread: 

  • While the tomatoes are roasting, slice up a baguette or ciabatta into 1.5 cm thick pieces. Brush each slice with olive oil and toast them in the oven for around 5 minutes until they’re golden and crisp.
  • Rub the toasted bread slices with a whole garlic clove for added flavour.

Combine Burrata and Tomatoes: 

  • Once the tomatoes are done, take them out and immediately put the burrata into the warm tomatoes. The heat will make the cheese all soft and creamy—perfect for spreading.
  • Add a generous handful of torn basil leaves.
  • Drizzle with balsamic glaze.

Serve: 

  • Set the dish of burrata and roasted tomatoes on the table with the toasted bread slices. 
  • Serve with Prosciutto,  extra sea salt, balsamic glaze, and fresh basil leaves so everyone can build their own bruschetta just the way they like it.
