It’s peak tomato season and I have the yummiest roasted tomato and burrata recipe for you to try today, friends. It’s a bit like a deconstructed gourmet pizza. Great appetizer for company or casual dinner at home…
My friend made this dish when I was visiting her home earlier this summer (she originally found it via this IG account). We were hanging out, chatting and she magically pulled these tomatoes out of the oven. We sat there and devoured them with fresh burrata, pesto, fresh herbs, and crunchy crostini. YUM. I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it.
Meanwhile, chop other herbs- I used rosemary, basil, and parsley, and throw them in about halfway through cooking. Save a bit more for the end as well to sprinkle on top.
While the tomatoes + herbs are finishing up roasting (warning: it’s going to make your home smell amaaaazing), set up up your serving plate. Drizzle the burrata and prepared pesto with olive oil and the reserved chopped herbs. Toast some sliced baguettes by drizzling them with olive oil and putting them on broil for a couple minutes. Tip: make these beforehand so you can keep the oven occupied with the tomatoes for the full duration.
I almost smelled the herbs…I almost tasted the tomatoes…
I will try this roasted tomatoes tomorrow!
Definitely!

Yummy! Where do you get your burrata? Do you make your own?
Nope, just bought at the grocery store. Whole Foods I think it was
I love a good tomato salad! A bit sad that it’s fall now… have to wait one more year for the freshest tomatoes 🙁
