Ingredients

Scale

For the Board

  • 2 balls burrata cheese
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 large heirloom tomatoes, sliced
  • 1/2 cup kalamata olives
  • 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup roasted red peppers
  • 4 pita breads or crusty bread

For the Drizzle & Seasoning

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano or za’atar
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Optional Garnish

  • Fresh basil leaves
  • Fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Arrange the Burrata: Place the 2 balls of burrata cheese in the center of a large serving board as the focal point of the dish.
  2. Add Vegetables and Olives: Surround the burrata with the halved cherry tomatoes, sliced heirloom tomatoes, kalamata olives, thinly sliced red onion, and roasted red peppers, distributing them evenly for a colorful presentation.
  3. Warm the Bread: Gently warm the pita breads or crusty bread until soft and slightly toasted, then place them on the board for serving.
  4. Prepare the Drizzle: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic glaze, and honey until well combined and smooth.
  5. Drizzle and Season: Pour the olive oil mixture evenly over the burrata and tomatoes to add moisture and flavor. Then sprinkle dried oregano or za’atar, chili flakes, salt, and freshly ground black pepper over the entire board to enhance the taste.
  6. Garnish: Scatter fresh basil leaves and fresh parsley over the board to add a touch of brightness and aroma.
  7. Serve: Offer the board immediately while the bread is warm, encouraging guests to scoop the creamy burrata and vibrant vegetables onto their bread for a delicious bite.

Notes

  • For a vegan option, substitute burrata with a plant-based cheese alternative.
  • Use za’atar if available for authentic Mediterranean flavor; dried oregano works well as a substitute.
  • Adjust chili flakes to your preferred level of heat.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh textures and flavors at their best.
  • Pair with a crisp white wine or sparkling water with lemon for a refreshing accompaniment.
