Step 1
Start by slicing each tomato into about three or four thick pieces and arrange them nicely on a platter. Next, gently tear the burrata into chunks and scatter it over the tomatoes. Toss some fresh basil leaves on top for a pop of color and flavor. Drizzle everything with good olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Finish it off with a generous drizzle of balsamic glaze for a touch of sweetness. Serve immediately and enjoy!
