Sometimes you just gotta do you! This bruschetta recipe swaps burrata for mozzarella, creating a delightful twist on the classic. Roasted cherry tomatoes burst with flavor, while the garlic becomes soft and fragrant, perfect for smearing onto crispy ciabatta slices. The balsamic glaze ties everything together beautifully, making each bite a sensory experience. 🍅🌿
Chefadora AI has the answer - timers, swaps, step-by-step help.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a baking dish, combine the cherry tomatoes. Drizzle generously with extra virgin olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Wrap the entire head of garlic (no need to peel individual cloves) in aluminum foil, drizzle with a little olive oil, and seal.
Place the foil-wrapped garlic in the same baking dish with the tomatoes. Roast for 30-40 minutes, or until the tomatoes are softened and slightly burst and the garlic is soft and fragrant. Check the garlic by squeezing the bulb – it should feel soft and yielding.
Slice the ciabatta loaf in half horizontally. Brush each cut side with a little extra virgin olive oil.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the bread halves, olive oil side down, onto the hot pan. Brush the tops with a little more olive oil.
Toast for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Move the toasted bread to a serving platter.
Smear roasted garlic on top of the bread slices.
Add mozzarella cheese and roasted tomatoes on top.
Add a few fresh basil leaves and drizzle with balsamic glaze.
Serve warm and enjoy!
If you prefer burrata, you can swap mozzarella back to the original ingredient.
For extra flavor, sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on top before serving.
Make sure to toast the bread until crispy to prevent it from becoming soggy when topped.
Can I use a different type of bread?
Yes, you can use sourdough or baguette slices as alternatives to ciabatta.
How do I store leftovers?
Store the roasted tomatoes and garlic in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Assemble fresh when ready to eat.
Can I make this ahead of time?

What can I use instead of balsamic glaze?
You can use a drizzle of balsamic vinegar or skip it entirely if preferred.
Is this recipe vegetarian?
