Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 8 oz (226 g) fresh burrata cheese
- 1 cup fresh basil leaves
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) balsamic glaze
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper and heat the oven to 400°F (200°C) for roasting tomatoes.
- Spread cherry tomatoes evenly across the lined baking sheet, coating them generously with olive oil and seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Roast tomatoes for 20-25 minutes until they develop a slight char and release their natural juices, creating a concentrated flavor.
- Transfer the caramelized tomatoes to a serving platter, allowing them to cool slightly and release their aromatic essence.
- Scatter fresh basil leaves around the roasted tomatoes, creating a vibrant green backdrop.
- Position the creamy burrata cheese centrally on the platter, allowing its soft texture to contrast with the roasted tomatoes.
- Enhance the dish by drizzling high-quality olive oil and a rich balsamic glaze over the cheese and tomatoes.
- Serve immediately to preserve the warmth of the tomatoes and the delicate texture of the burrata, creating a harmonious Mediterranean-inspired salad.
Notes
- Roast tomatoes just until they start to burst for maximum flavor concentration and caramelized edges.
- Use high-quality extra virgin olive oil to enhance the overall taste profile of the salad.
- Cut burrata right before serving to maintain its creamy, luscious texture and prevent premature leaking.
- Opt for fresh, in-season cherry tomatoes for the most vibrant and sweet roasted result.
