Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 4 heirloom tomatoes
- 1 Ball burrata cheese or buffalo mozzarella
- ¼ Cup basil leaves or more if liked
- 1 Teaspoon sea salt flakes
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil extra virgin
- 1 Teaspoon black pepper
- 1 Cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 Teaspoon truffle salt
Instructions
- Prepare balsamic glaze. Combine truffle salt and balsamic vinegar in a saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil.
- Cook until reduced to half (about 10 minutes).
- Slice the tomatoes thin and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt flakes and pepper.
- Arrange tomato slices on a plate in a shingle pattern with a basil leaf between each slice.
- Place the burrata (or mozzarella) in the center of the plate. Use a knife to slice the cheese open in a checkered pattern.
- Drizzle the tomatoes and burrata with balsamic glaze. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Garnish with chopped basil and serve right away.
Notes
Use ripe heirloom tomatoes: They should feel firm but give slightly under pressure.
Serve at room temperature: This brings out the full flavor of the ingredients.
Use a serrated knife: It makes slicing the tomatoes easier and cleaner.
Let the glaze cool slightly: This helps it thicken and cling to the ingredients.
