Burrata Caprese Sandwich with Cherry Tomato Confit

This caprese sandwich is packed with flavors and easily one of my favorites. It has a creamy texture for the Burrata, fresh aroma from the homemade pesto, peppery flavor from the arugula and a sweet garlicky taste from the tomato confit and balsamic glaze. All this goodness is squeezed in between two fresh and lightly crunchy baguette halves.

Ingredients:

For the Fresh Pesto:
– 2 cups fresh basil leaves
– 1-2 tbsp toasted pine nuts
– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 2-3 garlic cloves
– 1/4 tsp salt
– 3 tbsp olive oil
– 2 tbsp water (optional, for a lighter texture)

For the Cherry Tomato Confit:
– 3 garlic cloves, peeled
– 3 tbsp olive oil
– 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes
– 1 sprig of rosemary (optional)
– 1 tsp kosher salt
– 1 tsp ground black pepper

Additional Ingredients:
– 1 baguette, lightly toasted
– 1 ball of burrata cheese
– 3 tbsp fresh arugula
– 1 tsp chili oil (optional)
– 2 tsp balsamic glaze

Instructions:

1. Make the Cherry Tomato Confit:
– Preheat the oven to 335°F.
– In an oven-safe dish, combine the garlic cloves, cherry tomatoes, rosemary, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
– Bake for 30-40 minutes, until the tomatoes are soft.

2. Prepare the Pesto:
– In a food processor, blend the basil, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, garlic, and salt. Gradually add the olive oil until smooth. Add water if needed for a lighter texture. Alternatively, use a mortar and pestle.

3. Assemble the Sandwich:
– Spread pesto on the bottom half of the toasted baguette.
– Layer on fresh arugula, then slice and spread the burrata evenly.
– Drizzle with chili oil, top with cherry tomato confit, and finish with a drizzle of balsamic glaze.
– Cover with the top half of the baguette and serve immediately.

Enjoy!
