- 1 baguette
- 2 tablespoons olive oil + more for drizzle
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 2 medium-sized tomatoes
- ½ cup fresh basil leaves
- 2 balls burrata cheese
- 1-2 tablespoons Balsamic reduction
- sea salt or coarse kosher salt, to taste

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.

- Bake sliced baguette for 5 minutes, flip, and bake an additional 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
- Thinly slice tomatoes and arrange them at the bottom of the serving platter.

Notes
- Storage & Make Ahead
- Make Ahead: You can slice the tomatoes ahead of time and store them in an airtight container. Add the basil, cheese, and seasonings just before serving.
- Store: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. The tomatoes and basil may lose some freshness, but the flavors will still be delightful.
