Instructions

Toast Bread
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or heat a grill pan. Brush bread slices lightly with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Toast in the oven or grill until golden and crisp, about 5–7 minutes.
Rub with Garlic
While bread is still hot, gently rub the surface of each slice with the garlic clove.
Make Tomato Topping
In a bowl, combine cherry tomatoes, red onion, basil, 2 tablespoons olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Toss and let sit 5–10 minutes to allow flavors to blend.
Break the Burrata
Carefully open the burrata and spoon or tear it into pieces.
Assemble Bruschettas
Lay out the toasted bread (garlic side up). Top each piece with a spoonful of burrata followed by a spoonful of the tomato mixture.

Finish & Serve
Drizzle with more olive oil and balsamic glaze. Sprinkle with flaky salt and garnish with extra basil. Serve immediately.

Notes

For best results, let burrata come to room temperature before using.
Use a mix of colored cherry tomatoes for a vibrant presentation.
Don’t assemble too early—bread will soften quickly under toppings.

Optional add-ons: lemon zest, red pepper flakes, olives, roasted garlic, capers.
