# How to Make It:
01 - Preheat the oven to 400°F.
02 - Place cherry tomatoes and garlic in a baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, pepper, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Toss to coat evenly.
03 - Roast for 25-30 minutes, until the tomatoes are blistered and juicy.
04 - Remove from oven. Gently stir the tomatoes, then nestle the torn burrata into the hot tomatoes. Allow the cheese to warm and soften for 2-3 minutes.
05 - Drizzle with balsamic glaze and top with fresh basil. Serve immediately with crusty bread or crackers.
# Expert Suggestions:
01 -
- The roasted tomatoes become impossibly sweet and concentrated while still keeping that fresh pop of brightness
- Watching everyone tear off pieces of crusty bread and fight over the last spoonful will make you feel like the best host ever
02 -
- Do not skip the step of letting the burrata warm in the hot tomatoes because that slight melt creates the most incredible texture
- Serve this immediately because once the burrata cools completely it loses that just melted quality that makes it so special
03 -
- Let the roasted tomatoes sit for 5 minutes after removing from the oven before adding burrata so they are not quite so hot to touch when people start dipping
- If your cherry tomatoes are on the larger side consider quartering them instead of halving so they roast down evenly
