Bruschetta with Burrata and Vegetables

Bruschettas with burrata and vegetables are a tasty and colorful appetizer, ideal for an aperitif or as the start of a meal. Here is the recipe:

Ingredients

• Homemade or high-quality bread, sliced
• Fresh Burrata
• Cherry tomatoes
• Eggplants
• Zucchinis
• Bell peppers
• Fresh basil
• Garlic
• Extra virgin olive oil

Preparation

1. Start by washing the vegetables. Slice the zucchinis and eggplants into thin rounds and cut the cherry tomatoes in half. If you like, you can also cut the bell peppers into strips.
2. Grill the eggplants, zucchinis, and bell peppers on a hot grill or in the oven with a drizzle of oil until they soften and take on a slight brown color. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Meanwhile, toast the bread slices on a grill or in the oven. Once crispy, rub a garlic clove lightly over one side of each slice to flavor it.
4. Arrange the grilled vegetables on the bread, adding the cherry tomatoes and some hand-torn basil leaves.
5. Place a piece of fresh burrata in the center of the bruschetta.
6. Dress with a drizzle of raw extra virgin olive oil, a sprinkle of black pepper, and, if necessary, adjust with salt.
7. Serve immediately to enjoy the bruschetta with still soft burrata and warm vegetables.

Curiosity

Bruschetta is a dish with humble Italian peasant origins, but over time it has been transformed into a gourmet dish through the use of quality ingredients such as burrata, a fresh, creamy cheese of great value in Italian cuisine. The combination of grilled vegetables and the addition of burrata turns a simple bruschetta into a rich and flavorful appetizer.

If you like, you can add a touch of reduced balsamic or a sprinkling of dried oregano to vary the flavor. And don’t forget a good glass of crisp white wine or a light rosé to accompany this delicious appetizer.
