Instructions

Preheat and Toast: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet and lightly brush each slice with olive oil. Toast in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes until golden and crisp.
Garlic Rub: While the bread is still warm, rub each toasted slice with a peeled garlic clove to infuse subtle garlic flavor.
Prepare Burrata: Place the burrata cheese in a serving bowl and gently tear it into smaller pieces for easier topping.
Assemble Bruschetta: Top each toasted bread slice with a spoonful of torn burrata, several cherry tomato halves, a drizzle of balsamic glaze, and a sprinkle of chopped fresh basil.
Season and Serve: Season each bruschetta with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve immediately to maintain the crispness of the bread and freshness of the toppings.

Notes

For variation, add prosciutto, roasted red peppers, or a drizzle of pesto to the bruschetta.
This appetizer pairs perfectly with a glass of wine.
Best assembled just before serving to keep the bread crisp and prevent sogginess.
