Ingredients
- 6 slices bread
- 1 burrata cheese
- 6 slices prosciutto cut in half
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes quartered
- 2 tbsp basil leaves about 6 large leaves
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 tbsp red onion thinly sliced and diced
- ½ tsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
Bruschetta:
- Wash and cut the cherry tomatoes in quarters. Mince the garlic cloves finely. Slice the red onion thinly and then dice the slices. Stack the basil leaves on top of one another, roll, and cut into thin ribbons. Combine all of the ingredients in a small bowl and toss with balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Add a sprinkle of salt and black pepper to taste.
- I like to make the tomato bruschetta mixture first so that it has time to rest and allow the flavors to meld together while we grill the bread.
Toast Bread:
- Slice the bread into 6 thick slices. Place the bread slices in a toaster or oven and toast until golden brown. Gently rub a clove of garlic on one side of the toast.
Assemble:
- Cut the prosciutto slices in half and lay two pieces on each slice of toasted bread. Break open the ball of burrata cheese and add on top of the prosciutto with as much or as little as you prefer.Add a spoonful or two of the tomato mixture over the cheese. Add an extra drizzle of olive oil, balsamic, black pepper, salt, or basil leaves, and enjoy!
Notes
You can make the tomato bruschetta ahead of time and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to two days in advance. I recommend grilling the bread and assembling it right before serving.
