Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup grape tomatoes
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon basil chopped, divided
  • 4 ounce burrata ball
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons Italian breadcrumbs or panko
  • oil for frying
  • 2 teaspoons balsamic glaze
  • crusty bread to serve

Instructions
 

  • In a skillet on medium high heat, add olive oil and add in the tomatoes. Leave them be for 2-3 minutes to char and blister the skin.
  • Mix in the salt and pepper and let them blister for another 2-3 minutes. Add in the garlic during the last minute of cooking.
  • Turn off the heat and mix in half of the basil. Transfer the tomatoes to a plate.
  • Prepare three bowls: 1) Flour 2) Beaten Egg 3) Breadcrumbs.
  • Pat the burrata ball dry with a paper towel and coat it in flour, egg, and then in breadcrumbs. Coat it again in the egg and breadcrumbs. Place the ball on a plate and freeze for 15 minutes.
  • Heat a small saucepan with 2-3 inches of oil to 375°F and fry the burrata ball until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes. Gently turn the burrata as needed to fry evenly.
  • Use a slotted spoon to transfer the burrata onto a paper towel then serve on top of the blistered tomatoes. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and garnish with chopped basil. Serve immediately with warm crusty bread.
