Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Crusty baguette or sourdough bread
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 pint Cherry tomatoes
- 8 ounces Burrata cheese
- 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 1 small Garlic clove
- 2 teaspoons Balsamic glaze
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the baguette or sourdough into 4 even slices, each about 1/2-inch thick.
Brush both sides of the bread slices with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, using half a tablespoon reserved for later.
Place the bread on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for about 5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
While the bread is toasting, rinse the cherry tomatoes and cut them in halves.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, black pepper, and the freshly squeezed lemon juice.
Mince the garlic clove finely and add it to the tomato mixture. Toss everything to coat and combine.
Once the bread is ready, remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly.
Gently tear or slice the burrata cheese and distribute it evenly across the toasted slices of bread.
Arrange the marinated cherry tomatoes over the burrata, allowing some of the juices to soak into the bread.
Take the fresh basil leaves, tear them with your hands or chop them coarsely, and sprinkle over the top.
Drizzle a small amount of balsamic glaze over each toast for added flavor and visual appeal.
Serve immediately, and enjoy your low sodium burrata toast with a touch of summer freshness!
