Servings: 4
Calories: 79kcal
Ingredients
- 2 large heirloom tomatoes cored and rough chopped
- 2 balls Burrata cheese about 4 oz each
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves torn or left whole
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons balsamic glaze
- 1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground and to taste
Instructions
- Slice the heirloom tomatoes into thick rounds or cut in half and cut into rough chunks. Arrange them on a serving platter, overlapping slightly.
- Tear the burrata gently and nestle pieces across the tomatoes, making sure to keep that creamy center on display.
- Scatter the basil leaves over the top, letting some land on the burrata and others directly on the tomatoes.
- Drizzle the olive oil evenly over everything, followed by the balsamic glaze in a light zig-zag pattern.
- Finish with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt and a few turns of freshly cracked black pepper. Serve immediately while the burrata is still cool and fresh.
Notes
Remember that if you are taking this dish to a potluck or BBQ, that the burrata should not be added until you get there. Keep refrigerated for as long as possible.
Additionally, add the balsamic drizzle at the very last moment- otherwise it tends to be absorbed by the burrata turning it brown rather than showing off the beautiful drizzle!
As always, like and comment- it means more than you might imagine!
