Scale
- 1 baguette or Italian bread, sliced
- 200g fresh burrata cheese

- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Fresh basil leaves, chopped
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Balsamic glaze or vinegar (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange sliced bread on a baking sheet, brush lightly with olive oil, and bake for 8-10 minutes until golden and crispy.
- In a bowl, combine diced tomatoes, minced garlic, chopped basil, a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Let sit for 10-15 minutes to meld flavors.
