Instructions

Prepare the bread: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lay the baguette slices on a baking sheet and brush each slice with olive oil. Toast the bread in the oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Keep an eye on them so they don’t burn!
Tomato mixture: In a medium bowl, mix the diced tomatoes, garlic, and torn basil. Drizzle in a bit of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. If you like a bit of spice, throw in a pinch of red pepper flakes. Stir everything together and set aside.
Burrata time: Carefully cut your burrata into halves or quarters, depending on how many servings you want to make. Be gentle—the creamy inside can be a bit messy, but that’s part of the fun!
Assemble the bruschetta: Take a toasted baguette slice and top it with a spoonful of the tomato mixture. Then, place a generous piece of burrata on top. Finish with a drizzle of balsamic glaze and a few fresh basil leaves for garnish.
Serve immediately while the bread is still warm, and watch the magic happen as your family or guests devour these in no time!
