Cheese & Dairy

Ingredients

small baguette, sliced into 1/2-inch thick rounds
tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
clove garlic, halved
oz burrata cheese, torn into pieces
1/2 cup mixed heirloom cherry tomatoes, halved
tablespoons fresh basil pesto or basil oil
Pinch of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush both sides of the baguette slices with olive oil and toast on a baking sheet for 8 minutes
minutes until lightly golden and crisp.
While the crostini are still warm, gently rub the cut side of the garlic clove over the surface of each slice for a subtle flavor.
Top each crostini with a piece of torn burrata cheese and a few halves of the heirloom cherry tomatoes. Season lightly with sea salt and pepper.
Return the crostini to the oven for 2 minutes
minutes, just until the burrata is slightly softened and warmed through.
Remove from the oven and immediately drizzle with fresh basil oil or pesto before serving.

Chef's Tip & Pairing

For an extra layer of flavor, try finishing the crostini with a sprinkle of high-quality Maldon sea salt flakes and a very light grating of fresh lemon zest.
