# What You Need:

→ Bread

01 - 1 baguette, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds (approximately 12-16 slices)
02 - 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

# How To Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Arrange baguette slices on baking sheet. Brush both sides lightly with olive oil. Toast in oven for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
03 - In a bowl, toss cherry tomatoes with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Spread on a separate section of the baking sheet or use a second sheet. Roast for 10-12 minutes until tomatoes soften and just begin to burst.
04 - Remove bread and tomatoes from oven. Allow to cool slightly before assembling.
05 - Gently tear burrata cheese and spoon onto each toasted bread slice. Top with roasted cherry tomatoes.
