Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Warm the 1 cup crushed tomatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat until bubbling, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

  2. Step 2

    Spoon the warm tomato sauce onto a plate, then place the 8 oz burrata in the center. Tear it open to expose the creamy center.

  3. Step 3

    Drizzle the 2 tbsp pesto over the burrata and scatter the 4 basil leaves on top. Finish with cracked black pepper.

  4. Step 4

    Toast the 4 baguette slices in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Serve alongside the burrata.
