Description

This indulgent take on the classic Caprese combines creamy burrata with ripe tomatoes and fresh basil, all topped with a simple drizzle of olive oil and balsamic glaze for a fresh, satisfying appetizer or side.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large heirloom tomatoes or 4 small tomatoes, sliced
  • 8 oz burrata cheese (1 large ball or 2 smaller balls)
  • Fresh basil leaves
  • Extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling
  • Balsamic glaze, for drizzling (or balsamic vinegar if preferred)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Arrange the Tomatoes and Burrata:
    • On a serving platter, arrange the sliced tomatoes in a single layer. Place the burrata in the center, keeping it whole or gently tearing it for a more rustic look.
  • Add Basil and Season:
    • Tuck fresh basil leaves around and on top of the tomatoes and burrata. Sprinkle with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  • Drizzle with Olive Oil and Balsamic:
    • Drizzle extra virgin olive oil and balsamic glaze (or vinegar) over the salad. Be generous with the olive oil for added richness.
  • Serve:
    • Serve immediately with crusty bread or as a light appetizer.
