A unique twist on a Caprese style tomato.

Ingredients

  • 6 tomatoes (round, medium sized, organic)
  • 16 oz burrata cheese (tub)
  • ½ oz basil leaves (fresh, for topping)
  • ⅛ tsp sea salt (good quality salt, more or less as desired)
  • 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil (good quality, like Olio Piro)
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Core out the center of the tomatoes.
  • Cut the burrata into 6 pieces and place each piece inside of a tomato (Option 2: you can also use a larger number of smaller tomatoes and cut the burrata into more pieces, if you prefer. This option would create a smaller appetizer).
  • Add a few leaves of fresh basil to top the creation.
  • Drizzle a serving plate with some olive oil and arrange the tomatoes on the plate.
  • Serve with salt and a cruet of the extra virgin olive oil, so each guest can season and drizzle their own tomato.

Notes

  • For bite-sized appetizers, use cherry tomatoes instead of medium-sized tomatoes. Distribute the slices of burrata accordingly.
