Ingredients
  

For the Roasted Tomatoes
  • 2 cups Cherry Tomatoes Juicy burst when roasted; substitute with grape tomatoes if desired.
  • 2 cloves Garlic Chopped; adds aromatic depth; optionally, use garlic powder.
  • 2 sprigs Thyme Leaves stripped; provides herbal freshness; dried thyme works if fresh isn’t available.
  • 2 Tbsp Extra-Virgin Olive Oil Enhances flavor and helps in roasting; opt for high-quality.
  • 1 tsp Kosher Salt Enhances overall flavor; sea salt can be a good substitute.
  • 1/4 tsp Freshly Ground Black Pepper Adds spice; adjust according to taste.
For the Burrata Filling
  • 1/4 cup Pesto Store-bought or homemade; homemade preferred for richness.
  • 2 4-oz balls Burrata The creamy center distinguishes it from mozzarella; fresh mozzarella can be used.
For Garnish
  • Flaky Sea Salt A final touch to enhance presentation and flavor.
  • Fresh Basil Leaves Brightens the dish and adds a pop of color.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a mixing bowl, toss together the cherry tomatoes, chopped garlic, thyme leaves, olive oil, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Spread the mixture on a baking sheet, ensuring the tomatoes are well-coated. Roast for about 40 minutes, until the tomatoes are bursting and caramelized.
  2. While the tomatoes are roasting, take your burrata and carefully slice an opening at the top of each ball. Fill the center with your pesto, allowing some of it to ooze out slightly. Set aside the stuffed burrata.
  3. Once the cherry tomatoes are perfectly roasted, arrange them on a serving platter next to the pesto-stuffed burrata.
  4. Sprinkle flaky sea salt over the dish and add fresh basil leaves for flavor and color. Serve immediately.

Notes

Best served fresh while the burrata is still creamy. Roasted tomatoes taste best out of the oven.
