Ingredients
2 slices crusty sourdough or ciabatta bread
1 ball burrata cheese (about 4 oz)
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 tbsp olive oil (plus extra for drizzling)
1/2 tsp balsamic vinegar (optional)
1/4 tsp salt

Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Toss the cherry tomatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet.
3. Roast for 15–20 minutes, until tomatoes are soft and slightly caramelized.
4. Toast the bread slices until golden and crisp.
5. Rub the cut side of garlic on the warm toast for extra flavor.
6. Gently tear the burrata and place on top of each toast slice.
7. Spoon the roasted tomatoes over the burrata.
8. Drizzle with olive oil and a touch of balsamic vinegar, if desired.

Notes
For extra flavor, roast the tomatoes with a few sprigs of thyme.
Add a layer of pesto before the burrata for an herby twist.
Use burrata at room temperature for the creamiest texture.
Excellent paired with a glass of chilled rosé or sparkling water with lemon.
