Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 lb. ripe tomatoes (preferably cherry, beefsteak or heirloom)
- 2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
- 1 Tbsp. thinly sliced basil leaves, plus more for garnish
- 1/4 tsp. kosher salt
- 8 (1/2-inch thick) slices crusty bread, such as ciabatta, toasted
- 1 garlic clove, cut in half
- 4 oz. burrata cheese
Instructions
- Cut tomatoes into small bite-sized pieces and place in a medium bowl. Add olive oil, balsamic, basil and salt and gently toss to combine.
- Rub bread all over with the cut side of the garlic clove. Divide tomato mixture and spoon over toasted bread (about 1/4 cup per slice of bread). Tear or cut burrata into bite-sized pieces. Place on tomatoes and garnish with fresh basil. Spoon on some of the leftover oil and vinegar. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For best results, we recommend making this recipe just before serving. If needed, toast the bread a day ahead but wait to rub with garlic until just before serving. Since tomatoes lose much of their flavor once refrigerated, we recommend storing the tomato mixture in the refrigerator for no more than 8 hours and bringing to room temperature 30 minutes before assembly.
- While we prefer cherry, beefsteak or heirloom tomatoes, the most important thing is that the tomatoes are ripe.
- If you can't find burrata, simply use fresh mozzarella.
