  • Gently apply a thin layer of garlic on one side of every toast slice.
  • Place the marinated tomatoes around the periphery of a serving platter, then place the burrata in the center. Over the tomatoes, drizzle any remaining marinade. Garnish with a few tiny basil leaves. Cut the burrata open, then pile it onto the toast and cover it with the marinated tomatoes. Have fun!

Notes

Bread: Choose something substantial, like as ciabatta or sourdough. I’ve used bread made in the artisan style here, and it works well. The goal is to have a hearty bread that will crisp up nicely and provide a great crunchy contrast to the burrata or soft tomatoes.
Garlic: Although it’s not necessary, adding this adds another level of flavor. The garlic will be softly “cooked” by the residual heat. Just use a light touch; otherwise, it will be too intrusive. Don’t go overboard.
Serving: Normally serve this for lunch, with around three slices of bread apiece, for two people. With eight slices, you may stretch it to four meals, particularly if it’s only an appetizer or starter.
Calories: Split the entire recipe in half, depending on three tiny pieces of bread each.

What’s the Difference Between Burrata and Caprese?

A Caprese salad is a straightforward Italian salad prepared with either burrata or fresh mozzarella. On the other hand, Burrata is a gentle cheese ball with a creamy center.

How Long Does Homemade Burrata Last?

Fresh burrata keep best when refrigerated for about a day, but after that it becomes rancid. It’s ideal to consume the entire burrata ball right away after slicing into it.
