  • 1 cutting board

Ingredients
  

  • 12 g olive oil light drizzle
  • 300 g cherry tomatoes 2 cups or 1 pint
  • 6 g garlic cloves chopped 2 cloves
  • dried oregano small pinch
  • 2 g kosher salt 1/2 tsp
  • ground black pepper 1/4 tsp
  • red pepper flakes small pinch
  • tomato paste 2 TBSP
  • 10 ounces burrata mozzarella 3-5 balls of burrata, depending on size

    300 g cherry tomatoes

    12 g olive oil, 6 g garlic cloves, dried oregano, 2 g kosher salt, ground black pepper, red pepper flakes
  • Roast at 400ºF for 20 minutes. The tomatoes should be bursting and the pan should be filled with a bit of liquid.
  • Carefully stir in tomato paste to create a thick sauce-like texture. You want it to be pretty thick because the burrata will add a lot of moisture.

  • Gently nestle the burrata into the baking dish, spacing them out a few inches so they melt evenly.

  • Return to the oven for another 10-15 minutes, until the burrata is melty and starting to brown on top.
  • Garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired, and serve immediately with crackers, bread, or crostini.

Notes

♻️ substitutions

Missing an ingredient? No problem. Check out these tried-and-true substitutions, or comment below with your question. I’m here to help you troubleshoot!
  • tomatoes - you can make this recipe with either cherry tomatoes, grape tomatoes, or even a chopped roma tomatoes! No matter which variety you choose, be sure to use ripe tomatoes for the best flavor.
  • herbs & spices - you can swap out the herbs and spices as you like, but use your best judgment when working with different flavor profiles. I like to stick to classic Italian herbs like parsley, oregano, basil, and thyme. You can also add more garlic or even a combination of onion and chopped shallot, too!
  • creamy - splash in a few ounces of heavy cream when you’re mixing in the tomato paste for a truly decadent and creamy dip!
  • pizza toppings - play around by adding your favorite pizza toppings onto the dip when you return it to the oven with the burrata! You can even add even MORE mozzarella cheese, provolone cheese, or parmesan cheese.
