Tomato Burrata Toasts
Cold weather’s got me missing tomato girl summe. you know, when every dinner was toast, olive oil, and a mountain of tomatoes 🍅 So today, we’re bringing a little of that back with this cozy appetizer
Ingredients
- Half a loaf of ciabatta or sourdough (cut into 12 pieces)
- 1 large tomato (any variety)
- 3 slices of bacon
- 1 ball of burrata
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (plus more for drizzling)
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- Salt
Instructions
1. Cut up your bread and add it to a sheet pan. Drizzle generously with olive oil and a pinch of salt.
2. Add the bacon slices to the same pan. Bake at 350°F for about 10 to 15 minutes, until the bread is lightly crisp.
3. Remove the bread from the oven and let the bacon cook for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until crisp.
4. While the bacon finishes, grate your tomato using a grating plate or regular cheese grater. Add the grated tomato to a bowl with about a tablespoon of olive oil and the dried basil. Mix to combine.
5. Spoon some of the tomato mixture over each piece of toast.
6. Tear the burrata into small pieces and place on top of each toast.
7. Cut the bacon into 12 pieces and add one to each toast.
Tip: If you’re serving this at home, assemble shortly before serving for the best texture. If you’re bringing it to a party, you can pack the tomato mixture, burrata, and bacon separately and assemble when you arrive. The crisp bread helps prevent everything from getting soggy, so you can also prep them a little ahead if needed.
