Whether you’re looking for an entree to serve at your next family lunch or perhaps looking for a new dinnertime recipe, pesto-stuffed burrata bombs are a crowd-pleaser that works on almost any occasion. Here’s your guide to preparing this flavorful Italian-inspired dish.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 pounds cherry tomatoes
- 1/4 cup pesto
- 2 burrata balls
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 thyme branches
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 400°. While you wait, transfer the cherry tomatoes to a small baking dish along with garlic, thyme leaves, oil, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly.
- Once the oven reaches the required temperature, insert the dish and bake the mixture until the tomatoes are softened. This could take around 25 to 30 minutes.
- Use a sharp knife to make a small incision in each burrata ball. Then, pour the pesto into the hole until it seems full.
- Finally, take out a platter and layer with the tomato mix. Top it off with the burrata balls before drizzling in olive oil and sprinkling sea salt and basil.
