Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- Fresh burrata cheese (about 4 oz per sandwich)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- Fresh basil leaves (about 10 leaves)
- 1 crusty baguette or ciabatta loaf, sliced
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Wash and slice the cherry tomatoes in halves and gently pat the fresh basil leaves dry. Ensure the burrata is at room temperature to achieve a creamier texture.
- Toast the Bread: Slice your chosen bread and toast it until golden and slightly crispy, providing a perfect base that holds all the juicy ingredients well.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Layer the halved cherry tomatoes evenly on the bottom bread slice, sprinkle with salt and black pepper, then place torn basil leaves on top. Carefully add generous pieces of burrata cheese over the basil.
- Drizzle and Finish: Drizzle extra virgin olive oil and a touch of balsamic glaze over the burrata and basil layers. Top with the other slice of bread and press gently to hold everything together.
- Serve Immediately: Enjoy your Burrata Caprese Sandwich fresh to savor the creamy texture and vibrant flavors at their best.
Notes
- Use room temperature burrata for enhanced creaminess and flavor release.
- Opt for ripe cherry tomatoes to maximize natural sweetness.
- Choose sturdy, crusty bread like baguette or ciabatta to prevent sogginess.
- Season each layer with salt and pepper to intensify flavors.
- Serve right away as burrata melts quickly and the bread can get soggy over time.
