Ingredients
Scale
- 1 loaf Baguette or sourdough bread (sliced into 1/2-inch pieces)
- 1 ball Fresh burrata cheese (or fresh ricotta as an alternative)
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil (plus more for drizzling)
- 1/4 cup Fresh basil (chopped or whole leaves)
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 pinch Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Arrange bread slices on a baking sheet and brush each slice with olive oil. Toast for 7-9 minutes until golden brown, flipping halfway.
- While bread toasts, halve the cherry tomatoes and toss with salt, black pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. Let marinate.
- Remove the toasted bread and cool slightly. Tear or slice the burrata and spoon it onto each bread slice.
- Top the cheese with marinated cherry tomatoes, sprinkle with fresh basil, and drizzle with olive oil. Add red pepper flakes if desired.
- Serve immediately while warm and enjoy!
Notes
Let burrata cheese come to room temperature for the best flavor before serving. Avoid skipping the marinating step for the tomatoes.
