Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Drizzle a bit of extra virgin olive oil on the bottom of a baking dish to lightly coat it.
2
Cut the tops off of the tomatoes and gently hollow out the centers, removing the seeds and pulp. Be careful not to puncture the sides. Place one ball of burrata cheese inside each hollowed tomato.
3
Arrange the stuffed tomatoes in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle a little more olive oil over the top of each tomato. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the tomatoes are tender and the burrata is warmed through.
4
Remove the baking dish from the oven. Season the tomatoes with sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and a bit more EVOO. Garnish with fresh basil leaves.
5
Serve immediately while the burrata is still warm and gooey. Enjoy as a delicious appetizer or side dish!
