Braised Tomatoes with Burrata

Braised Tomatoes with Burrata, basil and grilled bread on a plate
  • Serves: 8
  • Prep Time:  15 min
  • Cook Time:  30 min

Ingredients

  • ⅔ cup olive oil
  • 2 pints cherry or grape tomatoes
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 4 large basil leaves, roughly torn
  • 8 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 6-8 oz burrata cheese
  • Crusty bread, toasted

Method

  1. Heat the olive oil in an oven-proof, non-stick skillet set over medium heat.
  2. Add tomatoes, salt, basil and garlic and cover with a lid. Allow to braise for 20 minutes then remove lid and remove skillet from heat.
  3. While still hot, set the skillet under an oven broiler. Broil just until tomatoes begin to char. About 5-8 minutes, watch them closely.
