    Why you will love this recipe

    This recipe is delicious because the flavor combination is fool-proof; soft tangy tomatoes, creamy burrata cheese, good quality olive oil and toasted bread.

    This recipe works well if you want to use fresh tomatoes but in the Fall/Winter months, I love to make it with cooked tomatoes.

    You only need a handful of ingredients, the burrata cheese is pricey but the best place to find it at an affordable price is Trader Joe's.

    Ingredients:

    • Burrata cheese: This cheese is a type of creamy mozzarella cheese. It comes in a mozzarella casing but the inside is a soft and spreadable cheese. Burrata can be pricey but it's worth the splurge.
    • Cherry tomatoes: I like to use the sweet cherry tomatoes but any tomato can work. If you use large tomatoes just dice them into chunks that are bite size.
    • Olive oil: Use a quality olive oil. I like to use a fragrant Spanish or Italian EVOO.
    • Bread: Italian or French bread are perfect for this recipe. A nice loaf of ciabatta or sourdough work well too.
    • Garlic: I love to use garlic on my toast because it enhances the flavor of the tomatoes and the olive oil.

    Tips to make bruschetta

    Bruschetta translates in Italian to "toasted bread" and it is the perfect vehicle for this jammy tomatoes and creamy cheese.

    Slice the bread into about 1 inch pieces making sure they are thick enough to hold the topping but still easy to take a bite.

    Burrata on bread is the best way to eat this creamy cheese. You can also add some balsamic glaze for a hint of sweetness.

    Italian or French bread are perfect for bruschetta, add a good drizzle olive oil and make sure to leave room in between bread slices so they can toast.

    After the bread is toasted, rubbing a garlic clove halved in two is the best kept secret of delicious bruschetta.

    Storage tips

    You can make the jammy tomatoes ahead of time and store them in an airtight container in the fridge.

    You can also toast the bread ahead of time if you are planning on using this recipe for entertaining.

    You can toast the bread a couple of hours before serving it and store it in an airtight container.

    The burrata is best consumed shortly after opening, so If you have any leftovers eat them ASAP.

    You could use leftover burrata in this Baked Burrata Pasta or use it as a salad topping.

    Recipe Variations

    You can use any soft cheese if you prefer not to use burrata or you can leave out the cheese altogether.

    The bruschetta is delicious with just tomatoes and a drizzle of balsamic glaze. The options are endless!

    If you like a sweet variation, you can try this Fig jam and brie appetizer.

    If you prefer to toast your bread in a cast iron pan instead of the oven you can do so.
