Ingredients:

1 ball fresh burrata cheese

2 cups cherry tomatoes

3 cloves garlic, minced or thinly sliced

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (optional, for added depth)

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

A few fresh basil leaves (for garnish)

Crusty bread or crostini, for serving

 

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Prepare Tomatoes: In a small baking dish or oven-safe skillet, combine cherry tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

3. Roast: Roast tomatoes for 15–20 minutes, or until they are soft, bursting, and slightly caramelized. Stir once halfway through. Add balsamic vinegar in the last 5 minutes if using.

4. Add Burrata: Remove the dish from the oven and gently nestle the burrata in the center of the warm tomatoes. Return to the oven for 3–5 minutes—just until the burrata is warm and starting to soften (not melted).

5. Serve: Garnish with torn basil. Serve warm with toasted bread or crostini to scoop up the creamy burrata and juicy tomatoes.
