Burrata Bruschetta
This Easy Burrata Bruschetta recipe perfectly blends creamy burrata cheese with fresh, vibrant flavors.
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves fresh garlic minced
- 1 loaf baguette sliced
- 2 pints cherry tomatoes cut in half
- 1 large handful fresh basil chopped (plus extra for garnish, if desired)
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 ball burrata cheese 8 ounces
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Saute garlic in olive oil over low heat until fragrant but not browned (about 5 min). Remove from heat.
- Brush slices of the baguette on each side with half of the garlic-infused oil. Toast bread in oven for about 10 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through.
- Meanwhile, toss the rest of the garlic-infused oil with the tomatoes and basil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Tear the burrata cheese into bite-size pieces and divide among the bread slices.
- Top each slice with the cherry tomato mixture and garnish with extra basil, if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
Tips:
- Handling burrata: Burrata cheese is delicate. Tear it gently with your hands instead of cutting with a knife to preserve its creamy texture. Ensure it's at room temperature for the fullest flavor.
- Serving options: Serve the bruschetta immediately for a ready-to-enjoy appetizer, or let your guests have fun by topping their own toasts, creating a more interactive experience.
- Pump up the tomato flavor: For a caramelized flavor or if you're using out-of-season tomatoes, consider roasting the cherry tomatoes in the oven for 15-20 minutes before assembling the bruschetta. This intensifies their flavor and creates a lovely contrast with the creamy cheese.
- Strain the excess moisture: If your tomato mixture is watery, strain out the excess moisture to prevent soggy bruschetta toasts.
