Makes about 18-20 Bruschetta, depending on how large a baguette you are using. Adjust the amount of tomatoes accordingly.
1 large French Baguette (I like Costco's baguette)
About 2 pints of cherry (or 2-3 large) tomatoes
1 ball of Burrata cheese
Fresh basil leaves
Aged Balsamic
Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
Heat the oven broiler to low (or set oven to 375). Slice the baguette diagonally into between 1/4 and 1/2 inch pieces. Arrange on a baking sheet. Brush slices on both sides with olive oil and sprinkle with finely grown pepper on one side. Toast in the oven for about 3-5 minutes per side, depending on your oven. Watch carefully, so they don't burn, especially if you are using the broiler. Allow to cool. The baguette toasts can be made ahead.
Slice tomatoes into small pieces and remove as much of the seeds and juice as you can. A little juice and seeds left is fine. Place them into a small bowl and drizzle with aged balsamic vinegar and salt & pepper to taste. Add some sliced basil before serving.
On a serving platter, arrange the baguette slices, around the outside, and place the tomatoes and Burrata cheese in the center. Allow your guests to serve themselves.
