A quick and easy bruschetta featuring creamy burrata cheese paired with umami-packed miso-roasted cherry tomatoes on toasted bread, perfect for appetizers or light meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pint (300g) cherry tomatoes, washed and halved
  • 1 tablespoon white miso paste
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 8 ounces (225g) fresh burrata cheese, drained and at room temperature
  • 1 small loaf baguette or rustic bread, sliced 1/2-inch thick and toasted
  • A handful fresh basil leaves, torn or chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, halved
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly oil it to prevent sticking.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the halved cherry tomatoes, 1 tablespoon white miso paste, 1 teaspoon honey, and 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil. Toss gently until every tomato half is coated evenly.
  3. Spread the tomatoes out on the baking sheet in a single layer, cut side up. Roast for 20-25 minutes, checking at the 15-minute mark to stir gently until tomatoes soften and caramelize with slightly blistered edges.
  4. While the tomatoes roast, slice the baguette or rustic bread into 1/2-inch thick pieces. Toast them until golden and crisp using a toaster, oven broiler, or grill pan.
  5. Rub each toasted bread slice lightly with the cut side of the garlic clove to add a subtle garlic aroma.
  6. Spread a generous spoonful of burrata on each slice of toasted bread.
  7. Top each slice with a spoonful of the warm miso-roasted cherry tomatoes, drizzling any extra pan juices over the top.
  8. Finish with fresh basil leaves, a pinch of sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  9. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast between warm tomatoes and cool, creamy burrata. Optionally, drizzle a little more olive oil on top for a glossy finish.

Notes

If miso paste is too thick, soften with a splash of olive oil or water before mixing. Use room temperature burrata for best spreadability. Do not overcrowd tomatoes on the baking sheet to ensure proper roasting. Toast bread just before assembling to prevent sogginess. Optionally add red chili flakes for heat. Substitute yellow or red miso for deeper flavor but use less to avoid overpowering.
