Want to fancy up your next snack or appetizer? This tomato burrata bruschetta, or bruschetta caprese (using burrata) is ready in under 20 minutes! Just in time for the Superbowl!
For this bruschetta caprese recipe, you only need basic ingredients, and is extremely versatile. While the bread bakes for up to 5 minutes, you'll work on the topping. In this post, I will share the ingredients, simple instructions, and some fun modifications! This recipe uses creamy burrata instead of the traditional mozzarella cheese!
What You'll Need
- A French baguette bread, or another loaf such as Italian, Foccacia, Ciabatta, or even sourdough!
- A spreadable cheese, such as Burrata, feta, goat, or brie.
- Fresh tomatoes, basil, shallots, and garlic
- Olive oil
- Balsamic Vinegar
- Baking sheet for the oven or toaster oven
How to Make it
This recipe is so simple! First, spread olive oil and garlic mixture on the bread. Then toast the bread and add toppings!
While the bread toasts for only 5 minutes just combine the tomatoes with the shallot and vinegar. Spread burrata on the toasted bread and top with the tomato mixture. Sprinkle with fresh basil leaves and you are ready to serve!
Variations
Burrata doesn't have to be the star of the show! Other soft cheeses can also make a great spread, such as feta, brie, goat cheese, or mozzarella.
Not a fan of tomatoes? Try some tasty alternatives, such as peaches, cucumbers, roasted eggplant, or even white beans! Fava beans and peaches pair nicely with burrata cheese.
For other toppings, try pesto, other fresh herbs, such as chives, even chili pepper flakes, or hot honey!
If you prefer a plant-based version, substitute the burrata for a vegan spread, like Treeline cheese.
For those of you who are gluten-sensitive, swap the French bread for your favorite gluten-free version. Against the Grain makes a gluten-free baguette!
So, to sum up everything. All you need is delicious bread, creamy cheese, and a few fresh ingredients! This recipe is versatile for all diet or food preferences. In less than 20 minutes you can have a fancy appetizer just in time for superbowl watching!
Hope you enjoy it! XOXO Bunny
