Ingredients

Scale

2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes
1 small head garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1–2 (4 oz) balls fresh burrata cheese
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
Balsamic glaze, for drizzling
Crusty bread or crostini, for serving (optional)


Instructions

  • Roast the Tomatoes & Garlic:

    • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

    • Slice the top off the garlic head to expose the cloves, drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, wrap in foil, and place on a baking sheet.

    • Scatter tomatoes on the sheet, drizzle with remaining olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.

    • Roast for 25–30 minutes, or until tomatoes are blistered and garlic is soft and golden.

  • Plate the Caprese:

    • Arrange roasted tomatoes on a serving platter.

    • Squeeze out the roasted garlic and mix gently with the tomatoes or smear on the plate beneath the burrata.

    • Tear the burrata and place it over the tomatoes.

  • Garnish and Finish:

    • Top with fresh basil leaves and a generous drizzle of balsamic glaze.

    • Add a few cracks of black pepper if desired.

 

  • Serve:

    • Serve warm or room temperature with crusty bread or crostini for scooping.
