Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 fresh baguette Baguette Sliced into 1/2-inch thick pieces
- 8 oz Burrata cheese Torn into pieces
- 2 cups Cherry tomatoes Diced
- 1/4 cup Fresh basil leaves Chopped
- 2 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon Sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Freshly cracked black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic glaze
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet in a single layer.
- Brush each slice lightly with extra-virgin olive oil on both sides. Toast the bread in the oven for 5-7 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until both sides are golden and crisp.
- While the bread is toasting, dice the cherry tomatoes and chop the fresh basil. In a bowl, toss the tomatoes with the basil, the remaining olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper to combine.
- Once the baguette slices are toasted, let them cool for one minute. Then, top each slice with a generous spoonful of the tomato-basil mixture.
- Tear the burrata cheese into small pieces and place on top of the tomatoes. Don’t worry if it’s messy—the creamy cheese is meant to tumble and ooze over the sides!
- Drizzle each bruschetta generously with balsamic glaze.
- Sprinkle a little extra fresh basil and cracked black pepper on top, if desired. Serve immediately while the bread is still warm and crunchy.
Notes
For the best flavor, use ripe, in-season cherry tomatoes and quality burrata. Assemble just before serving to maintain that perfect crispiness.
