Ingredients
Scale
For the Bruschetta Topping:
- 2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
- ¼ cup chopped red onion
- 1 garlic clove, grated or very finely minced
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ cup chopped fresh basil
For the Toasts:
- 8 slices of crusty bread
- Olive oil
- 1 whole garlic clove, peeled
- Salt and pepper
- 2 large or 4 small balls of burrata cheese
- Balsamic glaze, for garnish
- Additional basil leaves, for garnish
Instructions
For the Bruschetta Topping:
- Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl and toss well to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning, as needed.
- I like to do this at least 15 minutes before serving so the flavors have some time to meld.
For the Toasts:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and spread the sliced bread out in an even layer on a baking sheet. Drizzle each bread slice with a little olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the toasts are golden and crisp.
- Remove the bread from the oven and carefully rub the garlic clove all over the surface while they are still hot.
- Allow to cool slightly before topping with the bruschetta mixture.
- Gently tear the burrata balls into large chunks and add them to the toasts. Garnish with additional salt, pepper, balsamic glaze, and basil leaves.
- Serve immediately.
