Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 2 pints cherry or grape tomatoes
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves sliced
- 1 tsp flaky sea salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- pinch of red pepper flakes optional
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 8 oz burrata
- 1-2 tbsp balsamic glaze for serving
- fresh basil for serving
- toasted bread for serving
Instructions
Roast the tomatoes:
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Wash and dry tomatoes. Toss them in a bowl with olive oil, garlic slices, thyme, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Transfer to a roasting pan and bake for 25–30 minutes. In the last 5 minutes, add the balsamic vinegar. The tomatoes should be blistered and caramelized when you pull them out.
Toast the bread:
- Slice a baguette into rounds, brush with olive oil, and sprinkle lightly with sea salt. Bake for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp.
Assemble the dish:
- Transfer roasted tomatoes and their oil to a serving dish. Tear open the burrata ball and nestle creamy pieces between the tomatoes. Drizzle leftover tomato oil over the top, then finish with a little more flaky salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Garnish and serve:
- Drizzle with balsamic glaze and sprinkle with fresh basil leaves. Serve immediately with toasted bread.
