Cheesecake Factory Bruschetta Ingredients

• Cherry tomatoes – Juicy, sweet tomatoes that burst with fresh flavor.
• Burrata cheese ball – Creamy center cheese with rich, milky texture.
• Shallot, finely chopped – Mild, sweet onion flavor for subtle aromatic depth.
• Garlic, minced – Sharp, savory kick to boost the flavor.
• Olive oil – Rich, fruity oil to blend and enhance.
• Salt and pepper to taste – Essential seasoning for balanced, savory taste.
• Fresh basil leaves, chopped – Bright, peppery herb for fresh Italian flair.

How to Make Cheesecake Factory Bruschetta

Step One: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a baking dish, combine the cherry tomatoes, chopped shallot, minced garlic, and olive oil. Toss everything together until the tomatoes are evenly coated.

Step Two: Roast for 20–25 minutes, or until the tomatoes begin to burst and release their juices. For extra browning, switch the oven to broil for 2–3 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for about 5 minutes.

Step Three: Sprinkle with chopped fresh basil, season with salt and pepper, and gently place the burrata on top of the warm tomatoes. Drizzle with balsamic glaze just before serving.

Step Four: Serve with crostini, crackers, or slices of crusty bread.

Copycat Cheesecake Factory Bruschetta Recipe Tips

• Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes – Roma or vine-ripened tomatoes give the best taste and texture.
• Let the tomato mixture sit – Allow it to marinate for at least 10 minutes to deepen the flavor.
• Toast bread just before serving – This keeps it crisp and prevents it from getting soggy.
• Add the balsamic glaze last – Drizzle right before serving to maintain visual appeal and freshness.
• Customize the toppings – Add burrata, mozzarella pearls, or even avocado for a twist.
• Serve warm or room temperature – It’s best enjoyed fresh and slightly warm for maximum flavor.

Storing & Reheating Instructions

• Storing Instructions: Store any leftover bruschetta topping in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Keep toasted bread slices separate to maintain crispness.
• Reheating Instructions: Reheat the tomato topping in a skillet over low heat until just warmed through. Toast fresh bread slices before assembling to keep them crisp.

Copycat Cheesecake Factory Bruschetta Recipe Faqs

Can I make the bruschetta topping ahead of time? Yes, you can prepare the tomato mixture up to 24 hours in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just add the fresh basil and burrata right before serving for the best flavor and texture.

What type of bread works best for bruschetta? A crusty baguette or Italian bread sliced into thin rounds works perfectly. Toasting the bread until golden ensures a nice crunch that holds up well under the topping.

Can I use fresh mozzarella instead of burrata? Absolutely! Fresh mozzarella is a great substitute if you can’t find burrata. While burrata has a creamy center, mozzarella still provides a delicious, mild cheese flavor.

Can I add other toppings to the bruschetta? Yes, feel free to customize your bruschetta with extras like chopped olives, roasted red peppers, or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese to suit your taste.
