Notes
- Burrata cheese - buy the best quality you can find, it will make a difference! Letting the cheese come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving will give you that creamy consistency that we all love
- Cherry tomatoes - use ripe tomatoes that are juicy for the best flavor. The roasting time will depend on the size of your tomatoes so keep an eye on them, you want them to be soft and about to burst
- Olive oil dressing - reserve every drop of oil from the oven dish after roasting the tomatoes and drizzle on the burrata just before serving. Finger licking good!!!
