Description
A simple yet elegant appetizer featuring creamy burrata cheese on crispy grilled bread, topped with fresh tomatoes, basil, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 slices sourdough or Italian bread (1-inch thick)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 ripe tomatoes, diced
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 ounces burrata cheese, drained
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced
- Balsamic glaze for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
- Brush bread slices with olive oil on both sides. Grill for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and crisp. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine diced tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper.
- Place each grilled bread slice on a serving plate. Top with a generous portion of burrata cheese.
- Spoon the tomato mixture over the burrata.
- Garnish with fresh basil and drizzle with balsamic glaze. Serve immediately.
Notes
For best results, use ripe, in-season tomatoes. If burrata is not available, fresh mozzarella can be substituted, though the texture will be less creamy.
