Ingredients
20 oz cherry tomatoes
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp sea salt or kosher salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
2–3 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 tsp dried parsley
1 1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
8 oz burrata cheese
1/2 cup shaved Parmesan cheese
1 French baguette, sliced
6 tbsp butter
1/4 cup roasted pine nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and position the oven rack in the center.
- Place the cherry tomatoes in a 10-inch cast iron skillet or an 8×8-inch baking dish. Add the olive oil, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, garlic, dried parsley, and dried oregano. Toss until evenly coated.
- Bake for about 25 minutes until the tomatoes soften and release their juices.
- While the tomatoes roast, chop the fresh parsley and basil, shave the Parmesan, butter the baguette slices, and arrange them on a baking sheet.
- Toast the baguette slices for about 5 minutes until lightly golden and crisp.
- Remove the tomatoes from the oven and carefully spoon out about half of the excess liquid.
- Add the burrata, half of the fresh herbs, and half of the Parmesan. Gently stir until the burrata melts into the warm tomato mixture.
- Sprinkle the remaining herbs and Parmesan over the top. Add roasted pine nuts if desired.
- Serve immediately with the warm toasted baguette slices.
Notes
Substitute fresh mozzarella if burrata is unavailable for a slightly firmer texture.
Add chopped sun-dried tomatoes for deeper tomato flavor.
Finish with a drizzle of balsamic glaze for a sweet and tangy touch.
Serve with crackers, crostini, grilled sourdough, pita chips, or fresh vegetables.
Store leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 10–15 minutes or microwave in short intervals until warmed through.
Do not freeze, as the burrata may lose its creamy texture.
