Ingredients

For The Toasted Baguette

  • 1-2 Baguettes, thinly sliced *Gluten-Free As Needed!!!
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive oil
  • 1 clove Garlic (slice the tip off one end)

For The Burrata Salad

  • 12-16 ounces Cherry tomatoes halved
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive oil
  • 2 Tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
  • 1-2 Tablespoons Fresh basil thinly sliced
  • 1 clove Fresh garlic (finely minced)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Flaky salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 8 ounces Burrata mozzarella cheese (I usually use two 4-ounce balls)*

Optional, For Garnish

  • Balsamic glaze
  • Additional basil leaves
  • Red pepper flakes
  • Flaky sea salt & black pepper

Instructions

Prepare The Baguettes

  • Preheat & Prep. To start, preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Thinly slices the baguettes and brush with olive oil. Place on a lightly greased baking sheet in a single layer. Try not to crowd the slices, so there's room for air to circulate in between them!
  • Toast in preheated oven 8-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are crisp and slightly golden brown. Rub with garlic clove for extra flavor and set aside to cool.

While The Baguettes Toast, Make The Tomato Salad

  • Combine. In a large bowl, combine halved cherry tomatoes, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, fresh basil, minced garlic, salt and pepper. Gently stir to combine.
  • Prep Burrata. Right before serving, tear or cut the balls of burrata in half and place them cut side up on a serving platter.
  • Assemble. Surround the burrata with the tomatoes and drizzle some of the tomato dressing over the top of the burrata. Garnish with balsamic glaze, additional salt and pepper, fresh basil leaves, or some red pepper flakes.
  • Serve. Enjoy with toasted baguette slices. (I set out a knife or cheese knife to cut or scoop from the burrata and a spoon to scoop up tomatoes.)
  • Store leftover tomato salad 1-2 days in the fridge and the baguette slices in a an airtight container at 1 day at room temperature. You'll want to reheat the baguettes in the oven the next day!

Notes

  • Gluten-Free. We're gluten-free, so we make this with Schar gluten-free baguettes or Trader Joe's gluten-free baguettes. (Regular baguettes are NOT gluten-free!) 
  • Burrata. While we're using 4-ounce balls of burrata for the photos, keep an eye out for burrata minis! Belgioso makes 2 oz balls that can work well for a crowd or be easier to manage for little ones.
