INGREDIENTS:
- Fifteen 1/4-inch slices baguette
- 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon clover honey
- 1/2 cup quartered cherry tomatoes
- 3/4 cup chopped strawberries
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
- One 8-ounce ball burrata cheese chilled
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Originally seen on Giada In Italy. Episode: Goodnight, Florence.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Brush the baguette slices on both sides with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Place the slices on a rimmed baking sheet and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bake for 10 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway through.
- In a medium bowl, combine the vinegar, honey, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil; whisk until smooth and emulsified. Add the cherry tomatoes, strawberries and basil to the dressing; mix well to coat. Allow to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to let the flavors marry.
- Drain the burrata and dry carefully. Using a fork, tear the burrata into small pieces. Place some burrata on each toast, being sure to get a little of the creamy center on each piece. Top with some of the tomato-strawberry mixture and drizzle with a touch of dressing.

This was such a surprising fresh tasting combination of ingredients. Must admit I was a little skeptical mixing tomatoes and strawberries. I am so glad I tried it. This is such an easy, impressive and tasty appetizer. I took it to a dinner party and everyone loved it. I will definitely add it to my keeper recipes. No need to change anything. Perfect as is.
