Burrata Bruschetta Dip

Burrata Bruschetta Dip turns everything we love about classic tomato bruschetta into a creamy, scoopable appetizer made for sharing. Juicy cherry and Roma tomatoes mingle with red onion, garlic, fresh basil, oregano, and extra virgin olive oil, while torn burrata adds rich, milky creaminess. A drizzle of balsamic glaze and a light shower of Parmesan bring just enough sweet-tangy depth and savory finish.

The best part is the contrast: cool, fresh tomatoes, soft burrata, and warm toasted baguette slices with crisp edges. It feels special on a party table, yet the prep stays simple and relaxed. Letting the tomato mixture rest for a few minutes gives the flavors time to come together before serving.

Bruschetta traditionally begins with grilled or toasted bread, and this dip keeps those familiar flavors while making them even easier to share.

Recipe Yield: 6 servings

INGREDIENTS

8 oz burrata cheese, drained
2 cups cherry tomatoes, diced
1/2 cup roma tomatoes, diced
1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp balsamic glaze
1 tbsp fresh basil, chopped
1 tsp fresh oregano, chopped
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, finely grated
1 baguette, sliced 1/2-inch thick
1 tbsp olive oil, for brushing bread

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Prepare the bruschetta mixture:
In a medium bowl, combine cherry tomatoes, roma tomatoes, red onion, garlic, olive oil, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Gently toss, then let rest for 10 minutes so the flavors come together.

2. Toast the bread:
Preheat oven to 375°F. Arrange baguette slices in a single layer on a baking sheet and brush lightly with olive oil. Bake for 8–10 minutes, until lightly golden and crisp.

3. Assemble the dip:
Transfer the tomato mixture to a shallow serving dish. If the tomatoes released a lot of liquid, spoon off only the excess. Tear the burrata into large pieces and nestle them over and slightly into the tomatoes.

4. Finish the topping:
Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the dip and sprinkle evenly with parmesan cheese.

5. Serve immediately:
Serve the Burrata Bruschetta Dip with warm toasted baguette slices or crackers, scooping up the creamy burrata and fresh tomato mixture together.

Helpful Tips to Perfect This Recipe

• Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes: Choose tomatoes that are ripe but still firm enough to dice cleanly. They give the bruschetta mixture better flavor without becoming overly watery.
• Bring the burrata closer to room temperature: Let the drained burrata sit out for about 15–20 minutes before serving. The center becomes softer and creamier, while the flavor comes through more fully.
• Watch the tomato juices: Tomatoes naturally release liquid as they rest. Keep enough for a juicy, scoopable dip, but spoon off any large excess before adding the burrata so the dish stays balanced rather than watery.
