Classic caprese with an upgrade.
- Total Time10 minutes
- Yield0 people 1x
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ball burrata ((mozzarella or mozz di bufala work as well))
- 6 leaves fresh basil
- 1 whole tomato from the vine
- 1 slice fresh-made Italian bread
- 2 tsp aged balsamic
- extra virgin olive oil
- salt & pepper
Instructions
- Brush some olive oil on a slice of fresh Italian bread and toast to desired darkness.
- While the bread is toasting, thinly slice a tomato into 2-3 slices per piece of toast.
- Layer fresh basil and then tomato slices onto bread. Top with a ball of burrata. If you want to divide a ball of burrata between multiple people, slice the ball into medallions and layer between the tomatoes.
- Drizzle on aged balsamic and a light amount of extra virgin olive oil.
- Salt and pepper to taste.
Notes
You can serve a ball of burrata anywhere from 1-4 people depending on your preference. For aesthetic (and cheese-loving) reasons, one whole ball per person is my recommendation. You only live once.
Veganize it: Wanna ditch the dairy? Because of the mild flavor of cheese like burrata (and mozzarella, etc.), avocado can be a great creamy alternative for a caprese salad. Slice an avocado and layer it between the tomato slices to make this appetizer plant-based!
