To take this cheesy dish to new pleasurable heights, we split the burrata at the very last second so that its velvety centre mingles with the scattering of sweet confit tomatoes.

Note from Ricardo

Burrata is a fresh, semi-soft cheese made from water buffalo or cow’s milk and can be found in specialty cheese shops. It resembles fresh mozzarella cheese, but its centre is filled with mozzarella curds and cream. If unavailable, substitute with fresh mozzarella in this recipe.
