How to Make Carrabba’s Tomato Caprese with Burrata

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a baking dish, toss together the cherry tomatoes, chopped shallot, minced garlic, and olive oil until evenly coated.

Step 2: Roast the tomato mixture for 20–25 minutes, or until the tomatoes begin to burst and release their juices. For extra flavor and color, broil on high for 2–3 minutes to lightly brown the top. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for about 5 minutes.

Step 3: Sprinkle with chopped fresh basil, season with salt and pepper, and gently place the burrata on top. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and serve with crostini, crackers, or slices of crusty bread.

Carrabba’s Tomato Caprese With Fresh Burrata Recipe Tips

• Use ripe tomatoes – Peak summer tomatoes make all the difference.
• Don’t skip the glaze – Balsamic glaze adds a sweet-tangy contrast that brings it all together.
• Chill the burrata – Keep it cold until serving so it holds its shape.
• Add extras – Try a sprinkle of sea salt, crushed red pepper, or even toasted pine nuts for texture

Storing & Leftovers

• Storing: Best enjoyed fresh. If needed, store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 day.
• Leftovers Tip: The tomatoes may release juice, so drain before eating or serve over toasted bread.
