- Heat to medium-high and cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes burst. This will take 5 to 10 minutes. You want them to burst and release juice, but not be completely mushy. You can smash any tomatoes that don't burst.
- Once they burst, remove the pan from the heat and allow to cool for 2 to 3 minutes before adding the burrata to the pan.
- Add the burrata, then cut it open with a sharp knife and slightly pull it apart so the gooey cheese inside is exposed.1 ball burrata
- Finish with a drizzle of balsamic reduction, fresh basil leaves, and freshly cracked black pepper.2 Tablespoons balsamic reduction, 4 to 5 leaves fresh basil
- Serve with crostini, Italian bread, or crackers.
Notes
Depending on the brand, 8 ounces of burrata with either be one big ball of cheese or two smaller balls of cheese. Either will work for this recipe.
Roast the tomatoes just until they’re jammy and starting to caramelize. If you roast them too long, they’ll come out mushy.
If you don’t have fresh herbs, replace them with 1/2-1 teaspoon of dried thyme and 1/2-1 teaspoon dried oregano instead.
You can serve the dip warm or at room temperature. Just make sure the tomatoes aren’t super hot right out of the oven or the cheese will melt too much
