Description
A fresh and creamy layered appetizer featuring pesto yogurt, soft burrata, and sweet roasted cherry tomatoes, served with grilled bread for dipping.
Ingredients
2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 tsp salt (plus more to taste)
1/2 tsp sugar
2 tbsp olive oil (plus more for drizzling)
1 cup plain full-fat yogurt
1/4 cup prepared pesto
8 oz burrata, patted dry
Grilled bread, for serving
Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange halved cherry tomatoes on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt and sugar, then drizzle with olive oil. Roast for 20 minutes, until softened and slightly caramelized.
- In a small bowl, stir together yogurt, pesto, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
- Spread pesto yogurt onto a shallow serving plate. Tear burrata over the top, letting the creamy insides fall onto the yogurt. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil.
- Spoon roasted tomatoes over the burrata. Garnish with fresh basil leaves.
- Serve immediately with grilled bread.
Notes
- Swap burrata for fresh mozzarella if desired.
- Use sun-dried tomatoes instead of roasted cherry tomatoes in cooler months.
- Add lemon zest to the pesto yogurt for a citrusy kick.
- Sprinkle toasted pine nuts on top for extra texture and flavor.
- Store roasted tomatoes and pesto yogurt separately in the fridge for up to 3 days; assemble just before serving.
