Burrata Bruschetta is everything I love in an appetizer—creamy, juicy, crispy, and ridiculously easy. If you’ve got cherry tomatoes, burrata, and bread, you’ve got yourself a little slice of heaven.
When it comes to party starters or feel-fancy snacks, bruschetta with burrata is always a win. The creamy cheese, the roasted tomatoes bursting with sweetness, and that crispy, toasty bread? It’s flavor-packed, comforting, and looks way fancier than it is.

🔪How To Make Burrata Bruschetta With Cherry Tomatoes
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking dish by adding cherry tomatoes, finely chopped shallot, minced garlic, and olive oil. Toss everything together to coat the tomatoes evenly.
- Step 2: Roast the tomatoes in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they begin to burst and release their juices. For a caramelized finish, broil on high for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Step 3: Remove the baking dish from the oven and allow the tomatoes to cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
- Step 4: Sprinkle the roasted tomatoes with fresh chopped basil, season with salt and pepper, and gently place the burrata cheese on top.
- Step 5: Drizzle balsamic glaze over the top for a touch of sweetness and tang.
- Step 6: Serve with crostini, crackers, or your favorite sliced bread. Enjoy!
👩🍳 Expert Tips

💭 FAQs
Yes, you can use regular tomatoes. Just chop them into bite-sized pieces before roasting to ensure they cook evenly. However, cherry tomatoes are ideal for their natural sweetness and juicy texture.
Toast the bread slices until golden and crispy before serving. You can also rub the toasted bread with a clove of garlic for extra flavor. Assemble the bruschetta just before serving to keep it crispy.
Yes, you can sauté the tomatoes in a skillet over medium heat with the same ingredients. Cook until they soften and start to burst, stirring occasionally.
To make this vegan, omit the burrata and replace it with a plant-based cheese or a creamy spread like cashew ricotta. Check that the bread and balsamic glaze are also vegan-friendly.
