Burrata Caprese With Roasted Vine Tomatoes

Burrata Caprese With Roasted Vine Tomatoes

This burrata caprese salad recipe can be made easily, and offers a more luxurious take on "regular" tomato caprese. Roast grape tomatoes until jammy, then plate with creamy, sliced burrata. To finish, drizzle with olive oil and aged balsamic vinegar and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Enjoy the raves.

Ingredients

▢ 1 pound cherry tomatoes on the vine, in several clusters
▢ 8 ounces fresh burrata
▢ 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more to garnish
▢ 1 tablespoon aged balsamic vinegar, optional
▢ Generous pinch flaky sea salt, such as fleur de sel or Maldon
▢ 12 turns freshly-cracked black pepper
▢ 1/4 cup thinly-sliced fresh basil leaves (optional)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
Place the clusters of tomatoes on the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil.
Roast on the center rack of the oven for 30 minutes, or until the tomatoes are nicely roasted and a tomato easily pulls off of the vine. If the sample tomato does not come off the vine right away, put the tomatoes back in the oven for an additional five to 10 minutes.
Use a flat spatula to transfer the tomatoes to a serving platter. Arrange the tomatoes, then surround them with large pieces of burrata.
Drizzle all over with olive oil, aged balsamic, and garnish to taste with flaky sea salt, fresh pepper, and sliced basil (if using). Serve warm or at room temperature.
PRO TIP: I don't usually slice the burrata until it is on the serving plate, since it will ooze. Use a sharp paring knife or serrated knife.

Substitutions

Feel free to adapt this burrata caprese salad a bit. If you can't find burrata, use fresh mozzarella. If you can't find on-the-vine grape tomatoes, use regular grape tomatoes instead. You could even substitute some of the tomatoes for ripe peach slices, sliced strawberries, or cantaloupe.

Serving Tips and Suggestions

Slicing Burrata: When you plate the burrata caprese salad, use a sharp knife or serrated knife to halve or quarter the burrata cheese, letting the inside ooze out a bit before drizzling the top with olive oil and balsamic.

What to Serve With Burrata Caprese: Serve this salad on its own, or with crusty slices of Italian bread. Some prosciutto di Parma would also be a nice addition.
