Italian Burrata Cheese Appetizer

Ryan and I went to a dinner party a little while ago, and a friend made this Italian appetizer. It was so delicious that I had been craving it ever since. I decided to make it a few weeks ago, and am so glad I did. I paired it with a salami & provolone plate for a light tapas style meal. (I love eating appetizers as entrees!) It’s really a pretty simple recipe, I definitely recommend trying it out.

What You’ll Need:

Heirloom Tomatoes
Burrata Cheese (Mozzarella Cheese Filled with Cream)
Arugula & Basil Pesto (quick recipe here)
Olive Oil
Balsamic Vinegar
Salt & Pepper
Italian Loaf

Directions:

Dice the heirloom tomatoes into little pieces. Place burrata cheese on plate, and cover with pesto. Arrange the heirloom tomatoes around the cheese. Drizzle the tomatoes with olive oil & balsamic vinegar. Top tomatoes with salt & pepper. Warm the bread, slice, and top with butter and garlic (if desired). Serve. (Scoop some tomatoes, cheese, and pesto onto the bread. Yum!)
