These Roasted Tomatoes With Burrata, Micro Greens & Charred Baguettes is a quick and easy appetizer that you can put together that your guests are sure to love.
I love a dish that is quick and easy and full of flavor, especially when I’m having company. I don’t want to spend a ton of time in the kitchen preparing. I rather be sitting with my guests enjoying. That’s why I love to serve this dish. It is so easy to prepare and so full of great flavor. This is a great dish for the summer months, when the tomatoes are at there sweetest. I love picking them right off the vine and putting them in salads, using them for bruschetta or roasting them. They make such a great addition to any meal.
How To Make Roasted Tomatoes With Burrata, Micro Greens & Charred Baguettes
Preheat the oven to 350º
Rinse and drain the tomatoes and place them in a large casserole dish. Using a sharp knife, puncture each tomato. You do this so that when the tomatoes are cooking they don’t burst in the oven. Trust me this is an important step, I learned the hard way. Coat the tomatoes with olive oil. To the tomatoes add the whole garlic cloves, fresh thyme, sliced shallot, salt and pepper and mix to combine. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until tomatoes start to char
Remove the tomatoes from the oven and with a fork, mash the garlic cloves. Gently mix everything together and pour into a serving bowl.
Cut a baguette on an angle into 1/2” thick slices. Place on the grill or in the oven on broil to char, being careful not to burn them. Once they have a slight char on both sides, remove them from the grill and rub a fresh peeled garlic clove over each baguette while it is still warm.
Top roasted tomatoes with Burrata and some micro greens and drizzle with olive oil. Serve with charred baguette.
There you have it. A super easy and delicious dish to make for your guest or just as a meal for yourself.
