Burrata Tomato Toast is the perfect breakfast, lunch or dinner to enjoy during the end of tomato season!
I'm ALMOST ready for fall... almost. But seeing as how I spent the weekend at my most favorite farmers market, and there are still tomatoes and strawberries coming out of every corner, I'm still functioning as if it's summer.
A few years back, while we were in Peru, we stumbled across the cutest cafe called El Pan de la Chola and poked out heads in. In typical form, we had just finished one meal, weren't even remotely hungry, but ended up ordering a handful of things on the menu because the cafe was churning out the most beautiful bread of all times. One of the combos couldn't have been more on brand - burrata, tomato, toast, thyme, salt and pepper. It was perfection. The burrata was creamy and salty and everything I could have ever asked for in life. The itty bitty tomatoes were super sweet - just like the ones at the market this month! And I've been making it on repeat ever since. Between this and my avocado toast obsession, chances are I might just turn into a giant piece of bread at any moment. Whatever... I'll deal.
Burrata Tomato Toast
Ingredients
- 2 thick pieces of bread
- 3 tablespoons olive oil plus extra as needed
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes
- 1 ball burrata cheese
- fresh basil
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Drizzle the bread with the olive oil on both sides and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes until toasted.
- Once toasty, remove the bread from the oven and carefully rub the garlic clove on top of the bread to infuse it with a little garlic flavor.
- Drizzle the cherry tomatoes with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to the oven and roast for 10-ish minutes until bursting.
- Slather a big giant spoonful of burrata on top of the pieces of toast with the burst cherry tomatoes.
This was outstanding. I've made twice in past 3 days. Everyone LOVED. Thank you!
best combo, burrata cheese, and tomato!
While in Spain in 2012, we encountered a similar breakfast and snack offering and loved it. The Spanish version didn’t have burrata, but was wonderfully tasty. The Spanish are very proud of their olive oil and I’ve become a fan as well! Try it, you’ll love it.
dying to get over to Spain and eat my way through all their incredible food!!
You had me at burrata!! The perfect bite. And CONGRATULATIONS...
I would love for summer to stay forever!! Love all the fresh goodness in this.
I was just wondering, which bread you used in the above recipe for Burrata Tomato Toast?
So funny, I was browsing through the toast feed from the feedfeed and saw this picture. I thought to myself that looks a lot like a dish from el pan de la chola. I love that place! Whenever I am in Peru visiting family I make sure to visit it. Yours looks great btw!
Burrata is really the only way to ever go. Love these toasts!
Hope I can still find some of these yummy tomatoes. The whole thing looks perfect!
Toast never looked so happy and delicious! Love these!
Guuuuuuuuurll, you're killing me over here. This is on POINT!!

Yum!! Burrata on anything is perfection!!
Looks so simple and easy but still so elegant- love that burrata!
Why have I never thought of this?!?! Pure deliciousness! This will be perfect with all the little tomatoes I have from my garden!
