Ingredients:
– 4-6 ripe tomatoes, diced
– 1 ball of burrata cheese (about 8 oz)
– 1 baguette, cut into 1-inch slices (about 12-15 slices)
– 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tsp dried basil
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Fresh basil leaves, chopped (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet.
3. Drizzle the olive oil over the bread and sprinkle with minced garlic.
4. Bake the bread in the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly toasted and crispy.
5. While the bread is baking, prepare the topping. In a medium bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, salt, and pepper.
6. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool for a minute or two.
7. Slice the burrata cheese into small pieces.
8. To assemble the bruschetta, place a toasted bread slice on a serving plate or board. Top with a spoonful of the tomato mixture, followed by a piece of burrata cheese.
9. Drizzle with additional olive oil, if desired, and sprinkle with chopped fresh basil leaves.
10. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Tips:
– Use high-quality ingredients, including ripe tomatoes and fresh basil.
– Don’t over-toast the bread, as it can become too crispy.
– Let the burrata cheese come to room temperature before slicing, as it will be easier to handle.
– Consider adding other toppings, such as prosciutto or balsamic glaze, to give the dish more flavor and texture.
