  • 1/4 cup balsamic glaze
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) if you wish to warm the focaccia before assembling the sandwich.

  4. Place the bottom half of the focaccia on a baking sheet.
  5. Tear the burrata cheese into portions and place it evenly on the bottom half of the focaccia.
  6. Layer the fresh heirloom tomato slices on top of the burrata.
  7. Add the fresh basil leaves over the tomatoes.
  8. Drizzle balsamic glaze over the basil and tomatoes.
  9. Gently place the top half of the focaccia over the assembled ingredients.
  10. Toast the sandwich in the preheated oven for 5-10 minutes until warm and slightly crispy.
  11. Slice the sandwich into manageable portions and serve immediately.

Notes

For a herbaceous twist, consider adding oregano or thyme. Leftovers should be stored separately for maximum freshness.
