Burrata Crostini With Roasted Tomatoes, Basil and Bacon

August 16, 2016 by Tonja 1 Comment

August is prime time to indulge in every fresh ripe tomato you can find.  The farmers markets are overflowing with all varieties and I can’t get enough!  One of my favorite combinations is Burrata cheese and roasted tomatoes.  The sweetness of roasted tomatoes with this fresh Italian cheese made from mozzarella and cream is amazing.  Burrata literally means buttery in Italian.  Roasted tomatoes spread easily over the grilled bread dolloped with Burrata—and why not add bacon and basil to this delightful summer treat?
