Ingredients
  
  • 8 slices crusty bread, ½ to 1-inch slices
  • olive oil, for brushing
  • 1 clove garlic, smashed
For the Caprese:
  • 8 Roma tomatoes, diced
  • 1 cup fresh basil, chiffonade, plus more for garnish
  • 8-10 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more to garnish
  • kosher salt, to taste
  • black pepper, coarse ground, to taste
For the Garnish:
  • 2 large burrata cheese, cut in fourths
  • balsamic glaze, for garnish
  • microgreens, for garnish
Instructions
 
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (204℃). Arrange the sliced bread in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Brush olive oil lightly over both sides of each slice and rub them with a crushed garlic clove. Bake for 5-10 minutes, or until the edges of the toasts are golden brown and crisp.
  • Meanwhile, combine the tomatoes, fresh basil (reserving some for garnish), garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl.
  • Remove the bread from the oven and spoon the tomato mixture over the bread slices.
  • Cut the ball of burrata cheese in fourths and place it over the tomatoes. Drizzle olive oil and balsamic glaze over the toasts and garnish with more fresh basil or micro greens.
Notes
Expert Tips:
  • Begin with quality bread cut into thick slices to hold the toppings.
  • I enjoy baking the bread beforehand so it is nicely toasted, or you can use a skillet, toaster oven, or grill.
  • Break up the burrata cheese and spread it onto the bread before adding the tomatoes and all the toppings if you want a different presentation.
  • If you serve burrata bruschetta as a grab-and-go appetizer, I recommend serving the bread slices, Caprese, and burrata separately.
