Burrata Caprese Sandwich with Cherry Tomato Confit

Описание: This caprese sandwich is packed with flavors and easily one of my favorites. It has a creamy texture for the Burrata, fresh aroma from the homemade pesto, peppery flavor from the arugula and a sweet garlicky taste from the tomato confit and balsamic glaze. All this goodness is squeezed in between two fresh and lightly crunchy baguette halves.

Ingredients:

For the Fresh Pesto:
2 cups fresh basil leaves
1-2 tbsp toasted pine nuts
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2-3 garlic cloves
1/4 tsp salt
3 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp water (optional, for a lighter texture)

For the Cherry Tomato Confit:
3 garlic cloves, peeled
3 tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes
1 sprig of rosemary (optional)
1 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp ground black pepper

Additional Ingredients:
1 baguette, lightly toasted
1 ball of burrata cheese
3 tbsp fresh arugula
1 tsp chili oil (optional)
2 tsp balsamic glaze

Instructions:

1. Make the Cherry Tomato Confit:
Preheat the oven to 335°F.
In an oven-safe dish, combine the garlic cloves, cherry tomatoes, rosemary, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Bake for 30-40 minutes, until the tomatoes are soft.

2. Prepare the Pesto:
In a food processor, blend the basil, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, garlic, and salt. Gradually add the olive oil until smooth. Add water if needed for a lighter texture. Alternatively, use a mortar and pestle.

3. Assemble the Sandwich:
Spread pesto on the bottom half of the toasted baguette.
Layer on fresh arugula, then slice and spread the burrata evenly.
Drizzle with chili oil, top with cherry tomato confit, and finish with a drizzle of balsamic glaze.
Cover with the top half of the baguette and serve immediately.

Enjoy!
