Tomato Base
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- ½ tsp chili flakes (adjust to taste)
Burrata & Hot Honey
- 1 ball burrata cheese (125–150 g)
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp chili flakes or ½ small red chili, finely chopped
Garnish
- Fresh basil leaves, chopped
- Extra olive oil for drizzling
- Prepare Tomato Base: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). In a small baking dish, toss the halved cherry tomatoes with minced garlic, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and chili flakes. Roast in the oven for 15–20 minutes until the tomatoes are soft and slightly caramelized, which enhances their natural sweetness and adds depth to the flavor.
- Prepare Hot Honey: While the tomatoes are roasting, gently warm the honey in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in the chili flakes or finely chopped red chili to infuse the honey with a subtle spicy kick. Remove from heat once combined to preserve the honey’s natural sweetness.
- Assemble the Dip: Once the tomatoes are roasted, transfer them to a serving dish. Tear the burrata ball over the top, allowing some of the creamy cheese to soften and melt slightly into the warm tomatoes, creating a luscious texture.
- Drizzle & Garnish: Drizzle the prepared hot honey evenly over the burrata and roasted tomatoes. Sprinkle freshly chopped basil leaves and a little extra olive oil on top for a fragrant and visually appealing finish.
- Serve: Serve this dip warm alongside toasted bread, crostini, or your favorite crackers. The combination of creamy, sweet, spicy, and fresh flavors makes it an irresistible appetizer perfect for sharing.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of chili flakes in both the tomato base and the honey according to your preferred spice level.
- Use fresh, ripe cherry tomatoes for the best flavor and sweetness.
- Burrata cheese is best served fresh and should be added just before serving to maintain its creamy texture.
- Warm toasted bread or crostini pairs perfectly with this dip for scooping.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 1-2 days.
