Equipment

  • Knife
  • Cutting board
  • Baking dish or air fryer basket
  • Oven or Air Fryer
  • Toaster or Skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ciabatta bread or your favorite bread
  • 2 burrata cheeses
  • 10 cherry tomatoes
  • 3 cloves of garlic
  • Extra virgin olive oil a few tablespoons
  • Salt oregano, chili pepper, and black pepper (to taste)
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Tomatoes: First, I cut the cherry tomatoes in half and place them in a small baking dish. Then, I drizzle them with extra virgin olive oil and season with salt, minced garlic (2 cloves), oregano, chili pepper, and black pepper.
  • Roast or Air Fry: Pop the tomatoes into the oven at 200°C (about 400°F) for 10 minutes. If you have an air fryer, set it to 195°C (about 380°F) for 10 minutes. I love using the air fryer because it’s quick and gives the tomatoes a slight char.
  • Toast the Bread: While the tomatoes are cooking, I slice the ciabatta bread. I drizzle a bit of olive oil on both sides and toast them either in a toaster or on a skillet. This helps get them crispy and golden.
  • Flavor the Bread: Once the bread is toasted, I rub a peeled clove of garlic across the warm slices. This adds a wonderful, savory flavor.
  • Assemble: Next, I gently tear or spread the burrata on top of each slice of bread. I love how creamy it is! Then, I scoop up some roasted tomatoes and place them over the burrata.
  • Garnish: Finally, I top it all off with fresh basil leaves. Ta-da! Your bruschetta is ready to enjoy.

Notes

  • Don’t Over-Toast: Keep a close eye on your bread while toasting so it doesn’t burn and turn too hard.
  • Check Your Tomatoes: If you use an air fryer or oven, make sure to check the tomatoes halfway through so they don’t get overcooked.
  • Handle Burrata Carefully: Burrata is soft and can break easily. Be gentle when spreading it on the toast.
