Ingredients
Bread & Seasoning
- 1 ciabatta bread roll
- 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 garlic clove
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Fillings
- 3 large tomato slices (beefsteak or heirloom tomato)
- 120 g burrata cheese
- 2 tbsp pesto
Instructions
- Toast the bread: Slice the ciabatta roll in half and lightly brush the inside with olive oil. Toast the bread halves using a toaster, oven broiler, or grill pan until golden and slightly crisp.
- Add garlic flavor: Cut the garlic clove in half and gently rub the cut side on the warm, toasted surfaces of the bread halves to infuse a subtle garlic aroma and taste.
- Layer the tomatoes: Arrange the tomato slices evenly over the bottom half of the bread. Season them generously with salt and black pepper, then drizzle a little olive oil over the tomatoes to enhance their flavor.
- Add burrata and pesto: Tear or lay the creamy burrata cheese on top of the tomatoes. Spoon the pesto evenly over the burrata for a fresh and aromatic finish.
- Assemble and serve: Place the top half of the bread on the sandwich, slice it in half if desired, and enjoy your Burrata Caprese Sandwich immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use ripe, juicy heirloom or beefsteak tomatoes for the best flavor.
- For extra crunch, you can lightly grill the sandwich for 1-2 minutes after assembling.
- Burrata cheese is delicate—handle gently to keep its creamy texture intact.
- Substitute pesto with fresh basil leaves if preferred for a fresher taste.
- This sandwich is best enjoyed fresh and not suitable for long storage due to the fresh cheese and tomatoes.
