- 4 oz Burrata Cheese
- 1 cup Cherry Tomatoes, washed and halved
- 8–10 Fresh Basil Leaves, gently torn
- 2 slices Artisan Bread (ciabatta, sourdough, or focaccia)
Additional Ingredients
- 2 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp Balsamic Glaze
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Wash and halve the cherry tomatoes, gently tear fresh basil leaves, and cut the burrata cheese into sized pieces for easy sandwich assembly.
- Toast the Bread: Lightly toast your artisan bread slices until golden brown and slightly crispy on the edges for that satisfying crunch that contrasts with the soft fillings.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Drizzle a bit of extra virgin olive oil on the toasted bread, layer on the cherry tomatoes and fresh basil, and carefully add generous portions of burrata cheese.
- Season and Drizzle: Sprinkle a pinch of salt and fresh cracked black pepper over the sandwich, then finish with a beautiful drizzle of balsamic glaze to bring all the flavors together.
- Serve and Enjoy: Place the other slice of bread on top or enjoy open-faced, then cut and serve immediately to savor the fresh and creamy textures in every bite.
Notes
- Use room temperature burrata to enhance its creamy texture and flavor.
- Choose ripe, juicy cherry tomatoes for the best sweetness and freshness.
- Don’t overload the sandwich to prevent soggy bread and ensure balanced bites.
- Use a high-quality balsamic glaze or reduce your own balsamic vinegar for richer flavor.
- Toast bread until golden and crisp but not burnt to add textural contrast.
