Ingredients

Scale

Cheese

  • 2 balls of burrata cheese

Vegetables & Herbs

  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup roasted red peppers, sliced
  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
  • 1/4 cup fresh arugula

Olives

  • 1/4 cup Kalamata olives
  • 1/4 cup green olives

Other

  • 1 small rustic bread loaf, sliced and toasted

Instructions

  1. Arrange Burrata: Place the 2 balls of burrata cheese in the center of a large serving board, ensuring they are easily accessible for guests.
  2. Add Fresh Ingredients: Surround the burrata with halved cherry tomatoes, Kalamata and green olives, roasted red peppers, and chopped sun-dried tomatoes evenly distributed for color and flavor balance.
  3. Add Herbs and Greens: Scatter fresh basil leaves and arugula around and over the vegetables and olives to add a fresh, peppery herbaceous note to the board.
  4. Add Toasted Bread: Arrange the toasted slices of rustic bread along the edges of the serving board to provide guests with a vehicle to enjoy the toppings and cheese.
  5. Drizzle Olive Oil: Generously drizzle 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil over the burrata and surrounding toppings to enhance the flavors and add a silky finish.
  6. Serve Immediately: Present the tapas board as an appetizer or snack for guests to share, serving immediately to enjoy the freshness and texture contrasts at their best.

Notes

  • Use fresh, high-quality burrata for the best creamy texture and flavor.
  • Customize the olives to your preference, adding more or fewer varieties as desired.
  • For a gluten-free option, substitute the rustic bread with gluten-free crackers or bread.
  • Serve with a glass of chilled white wine or light rosé for a perfect pairing.
  • Ensure the bread slices are toasted but not overly crisp to maintain a good balance with the creamy burrata.
