This 5-Ingredient Burrata & Cherry Tomato Bruschetta Toast is a delightful combination of creamy burrata cheese and juicy, sweet cherry tomatoes, all atop a perfectly toasted slice of rustic bread. The contrast of textures and flavors creates a refreshing appetizer that bursts with summer vibes in every bite.
Ingredients
- Bread: 4 slices of rustic Italian bread, sliced 1-inch thick
- Burrata: 8 ounces of fresh burrata cheese
- Cherry Tomatoes: 1 pint of cherry tomatoes, halved
- Basil: 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, torn
- Olive Oil: 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- Salt: 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Arrange the slices of rustic bread on a baking sheet and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- Bake the bread for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- While the bread is toasting, combine the halved cherry tomatoes, torn basil leaves, remaining olive oil, and sea salt in a bowl. Toss gently to combine.
- Once the bread is toasted, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly.
- Top each slice of toasted bread with a generous portion of burrata cheese.
- Spoon the cherry tomato mixture over the burrata, allowing the juices to soak into the bread.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the creamy, juicy bliss!
Notes
- This bruschetta can be made ahead by preparing the tomato mixture and storing it in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours before serving.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 day, but the bread may become soggy.
- For a twist, substitute burrata with fresh mozzarella or goat cheese.
