Ingredients

  • 8 ounces crusty Italian-style bread, like ciabatta
  • extra virgin olive oil, Italian Nocellara
  • 8 ounces burrata cheese
  • 3 ounces prosciutto
  • 1 cup grape or cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
  • 3 ounces sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1/3 cup olives, any kind you like
  • 2 teaspoons capers
  • basil leaves, handful, torn
  • kosher salt and black pepper
  • red pepper flakes

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Tear the bread up into pieces and arrange them, crusty side down, on a sheet pan. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, making sure to spread the evoo over the soft (fleshy) side of the bread. Broil for a couple of minutes, watching carefully for the bread to gain some color.
  2. Arrange the toasted bread pieces on a large platter. Add in the burrata, prosciutto and tomatoes, and top with the remaining ingredients.
  3. Finish with a good dash of kosher salt and black pepper (particularly on the tomatoes and burrata), and a little red pepper flakes, if you don’t mind the heat. Drizzle olive oil all over and serve.

Notes

  • Leftovers and storage: This burrata appetizer is best enjoyed fresh on the day you make it. If you have any leftover, keep it in the fridge for up to 2 days. To keep the toasted pieces of bread as crunchy as possible, separate the toasts from the other ingredients and store it at room temperature in an airtight container. 
  • Visit Our Shop for quality Mediterranean ingredients including extra virgin olive oils and spices. I highly recommend our Italian Nocellara EVOO and all-natural sun-dried tomatoes for this recipe.
