Here’s my recipe for Crostino Burrata which is loved by anyone who sets eyes on it, including my 6 million friends on TikTok, who made this a viral hit!

Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 loaf of Italian bread, cut in half lengthwise, then widthwise
- ½ pound cherry tomatoes, halved
- A pinch of salt
- 3 garlic cloves, divided
- 2 (8 ounce) balls of fresh burrata
- A bunch of basil leaves
Method
- Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Place tomatoes in a small baking dish and add 2 tablespoons olive oil, a pinch of salt, and 2 cloves of minced garlic. Bake for about 20 to 25 minutes.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium pan over medium heat. Add bread cut side down, and grill until golden brown and crisp, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Use the remaining whole peeled garlic clove to rub the toasted bread with.
- Using a butter knife, spread the burrata over the toasted bread's surface. Top with the cherry tomatoes and finish with fresh basil.
