Step 1

Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl and toss well to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning, as needed.

Step 2

I like to do this at least 15 minutes before serving so the flavors have some time to meld.

Step 3

Preheat the oven to 400°F and spread the sliced bread out in an even layer on a baking sheet. Drizzle each bread slice with a little olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Step 4

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the toasts are golden and crisp.

Step 5

Remove the bread from the oven and carefully rub the garlic clove all over the surface while they are still hot.

Step 6

Allow to cool slightly before topping with the bruschetta mixture.

Step 7

Gently tear the burrata balls into large chunks and add them to the toasts. Garnish with additional salt, pepper, balsamic glaze, and basil leaves.

Step 8

Serve immediately.
