  • Total Time: 40
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 pint (about 300g) cherry or grape tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or ½ teaspoon dried)
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar

Instructions

  1. Roast the Tomatoes
  2. Prepare the Basil Oil
  3. Assemble the Dish

Notes

For the best flavor, use high-quality burrata and serve it at room temperature. The basil oil can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you don’t have a blender, you can finely chop the basil and whisk it vigorously with the oil. For a more intense flavor, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the tomatoes while roasting.
