Bruschetta is a classic antipasto from Italy made with grilled bread. Most commonly tossed with a beautiful tomato relish, this recipe includes the addition of burrata cheese. Did you know the correct pronunciation is “brusketta” not “brushetta.”
Preparation
STEP 1
Dice and seed tomatoes and place in a colander. Sprinkle with salt. Let tomatoes release some of their liquid (at room temperature) for about an hour before moving on.
STEP 2
Add strained tomatoes to a bowl with minced garlic, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and basil. Lightly mix. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
STEP 3
Heat grill to medium heat. Lightly coat baguette slices with olive oil and cook one side on pre-heated grill until toasted.
STEP 4
Flip bread slices and top with burrata, distributing evenly amongst slices. Once slightly melted and bread is toasted remove from grill and top with tomato mixture and serve.
Options
This recipe can also be made with halved cherry tomatoes.
For milder garlic flavor cook the minced garlic over low heat in the olive oil for a few minutes. Let cool slightly before adding to your tomatoes.
If you want save the juice that strains from the tomatoes. You can mix it with a bit of olive oil and vinegar to make a light salad dressing filled with summer flavor.
