Putting this together is easier then you would think, I wouldn’t call this a recipe, but more of a pairing idea if you want to enjoy burrata at home with a restaurant feel. So let’s get started and go over what you’ll need for this particular set.

Amount	Unit	Ingredient
2	Piece	4 oz Truffle Burrata
1	Piece	Baguette
1	Pint	Cherry Tomatoes
1	Pint	Cremini Mushrooms
½	Piece	Spanish Onion
1	Clove	Garlic
¼	Cup	EVOO
1	TBSP	Salt
1/2	TBSP	Pepper
2	TSP	Balsamic Glaze

Prep the crostini

1. Set you oven to Broil high… let that heat up for a bit.
2. cut your Baguette on a bias in ⅓” slices.
3. Place them on a Sheet Pan. Brush each piece with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper
4. Place tray in the oven and toast until golden brown and crispy on the edges, this should take 1-3 minutes. This goes by really quick so be careful, it’s so easy to burn.
5. Take your crostini out of the oven and with the garlic clove, make sure it’s peeled, rub in on one side of the crostini giving it a nice garlic flavor.

Time for flavor pairing prep… I like only using one pan, it works relatively well and super easy.

1. Prep your veggies, by slicing your mushrooms and onions, keep them separate because you will be cooking them individually.
2. Place your sauté pan on high heat add about a tsp of Olive oil, let heat, then add your mushrooms, sauté them until they start to caramelize before adding a pinch of salt and pepper. about 3-6 minutes. Once done set aside.
3. Add more oil to the pan and add your sliced onion to the pan, cook them until they caramelize but make sure they don’t burn or turn to mush. About 4-6 minutes. Set aside with the mushrooms.
4. Now add your cherry tomatoes, you don’t need to add oil, giving your tomatoes a dry roast or sauté will give them a slight charred flavor that I think mimics roasted tomato sauce in a single tomato. Swirl the pan to keep the tomatoes moving every once in a while. When you get some char cover with a lid to steam them slightly to soften. This process should take about 3-4 minutes all together.
5. Mix everything into a bowl and your good to go on the sides.

Let’s build our plate, this should take less then 1 minute now that your have everything set and ready to go.

1. On two plates separate the mixture of veggies and crostini.
2. Place one ball of burrata on each plate, you can rip them open to have the filling exposed. I find that it looks more rustic and pretty this way. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil and the balsamic glaze.
3. Now enjoy.

This should be enough to feed two for dinner or 4 for a shared appetizer… I don’t like to share burrata so I always take the dinner Portion

Some tips if you have dietary restrictions.

1. Gluten free- Go for a gluten free Baguette or gluten free cracker. You never have to use the exact thing I have with it if you don’t want to, it’s just a recommendation.
2. Dairy free…. I guess you’re S.O.L on this one.
