Burrata Panzanella Stuffed Tomatoes.

Servings 3 -4 Servings

Ingredients
  

  • 3 Tbsp. of red onion minced
  • 1 Clove of garlic finely minced
  • 1 Tbsp. of fresh basil leaves chopped
  • 1.5 Cups of chopped mixed tomatoes heirloom, grape, cherry
  • 2 Tbsp. of Olive Oil plus 1 tsp.
  • Salt and pepper
  • 3-4 Large heirloom tomatoes
  • 1/2 loaf of crusty Italian bread
  • 4 0 z. of Burrata

Instructions
 

  • Combine minced red onion, garlic, basil leaves and chopped tomatoes. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Set mixture aside to marinate.
  • While the filling marinates, prep the heirloom tomatoes for stuffing. Hold your knife at a 45-degree angle to carve out the top and hollow out insides (like cutting the top off a jack-o-lantern!). Remove center, seeds, and drain excess liquid. Lightly salt the insides and rest upside down on a paper towel for 15 minutes.
  • Pre-heat oven on the broil setting and slice of crusty Italian bread into 3/4” cubes. Toss with a teaspoon of olive oil, salt and pepper. Broil in the oven until golden brown and lightly crisped. Remove from oven and let cool.
  • Once cooled, add 1.5 cups of the toasted bread cubes to the marinated tomato mixture and toss to combine. Divide panzella across the hollowed out tomatoes.
  • Roughly chop 4 oz burrata and distribute on top of the tomatoes. Garnish with basil, season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Serve with additional burrata and bread on the side.
