Roasted Tomato Caprese
Are you looking for a great appetizer that is simple to put together and delicious? This it.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 4 burrata
- 4-8 cloves garlic peeled and smashed
- olive oil I recommend Moire's for the quality and flavor
- fresh oregano
- fresh basil
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Place cherry tomatoes, smashed garlic, 2 stems of oregano on a baking sheet. Drizzle generously with olive oil. Mix carefully to coat.
- Place in oven and bake for about 15 minutes. Add your burrata for the last 5 to soften and melt slightly.
- Remove from oven.
- Drizzle with a touch more olive oil. Serve immediately with your favorite crusty bread or crackers.
Notes
- Garnish-Top your finished roasted tomatoes with some thinly sliced fresh basil leaves and a bit more EVOO for a beautiful presentation. You can also add a drizzle of balsamic vinegar before serving.
- Choose your serving style-texture of the dish is very creamy, which makes for a delightful spread. You can enjoy family style and let everyone dip from a single serving dish or cut small pieces for guests to enjoy on appetizer plates.
- Get creative-I used toasted sliced french bread for this recipe, but crackers and just about any crunchy bread will taste great. Try a platter with lots of choices so you can see which you like the best. A possible variation would be to add this as a topping to garlic bread. I adore garlic bread, and it can be whipped up in a matter of minutes using the same ingredients. Both of these dishes are fun to assemble and great to make with family or friends.
- Add tasty drinks-I love a tart lemonade with dishes like this. If you are into that also, check out these options: How about a Classic Lemonade or Blueberry lemonade is also a fun variation!
