Ingredients

4 balls burrata cheese
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
4 cups grape tomatoes
6 cloves garlic, halved lengthwise
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup fresh basil
Italian bread, sliced and toasted

Preparation

Place the burrata in a 9-inch-deep pie pan or casserole dish of similar size.
In a large saute pan with a lid, warm the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the tomatoes, garlic, balsamic vinegar and salt and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low and cover tightly. Braise for 20 minutes, until the tomatoes are collapsed and a syrupy liquid surrounds them.
Pour the hot tomato mixture over the cheese. Cover with torn basil and serve immediately with bread.
