Description
This Hot Honey Tomato Burrata Dip is a culinary marvel that marries the sweet and spicy tang of hot honey with juicy blistered cherry tomatoes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp hot honey (plus more for drizzling)
- 1 large ball burrata cheese
- Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
- Toasted baguette slices or flatbread, for serving
Instructions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This temperature is ideal for getting those perfectly blistered tomato skins while keeping the insides juicy and flavorful.
- In a robust baking dish, combine the cherry tomatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, crushed red pepper flakes, a sprinkle of salt, and freshly ground pepper. Finish with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar. This mixture will form the flavorful base of your dip.
- The roasting process lasts between 18 to 20 minutes. Keep an eye on the tomatoes as they turn soft, and the skins begin to blister—an indication that they’re ready for the next step.
- Remove the tomatoes from the oven, stir in the hot honey to infuse a touch of sweetness and spice, then place the sumptuous ball of burrata right in the center. Return the dish to the oven for about 5 minutes, allowing the cheese to soften and slightly melt.
- Finish by drizzling more hot honey over the entire dish and garnishing with fresh basil leaves. Serve accompanied by your choice of toasted baguette slices or flatbread for that perfect crunchy contrast.
Notes
