Description

These Burrata Bruschettas are a stunning yet simple appetizer, featuring crusty toasted bread rubbed with garlic, layered with creamy burrata, and topped with a vibrant cherry tomato, basil, and red onion medley. Finished with a drizzle of olive oil and balsamic glaze, each bite is fresh, rich, and full of summer flavor.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 baguette or Italian loaf, sliced into ½–¾" (1–2cm) slices
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 12 garlic cloves, peeled
  • 23 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ¼ red onion, very thinly sliced
  • ½ cup fresh basil, chopped or torn
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste

 

  • Flaky salt, balsamic glaze, olive oil, and more basil, for garnish

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.
