Method
Preparation
- 1
Roast the Cherry Tomatoes
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the cherry tomatoes in a bowl with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet and roast for about 15-20 minutes, until they are blistered and slightly caramelized.

Prepare the Crostini
While the tomatoes are roasting, slice the loaf of crostini bread into 1/2 inch slices. Arrange the slices on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and toast them in the oven for about 5-7 minutes or until they are golden and crispy.

Plate the Burrata
Once the tomatoes are roasted, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Place the Burrata cheese on a serving platter. Using a fork, gently break the outer shell to allow the creamy interior to flow out.
