Ingredients

Cheese

  • 2 burrata balls

Sun-Dried Tomato Mixture

  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil, drained and chopped)
  • 1 garlic clove (pressed)
  • ½ tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar

Toppings

  • 2 tbsp toasted pine nuts
  • Coarsely ground black pepper (to taste)
  • Flaky salt (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sun-Dried Tomato Mixture: In a bowl, combine the chopped sun-dried tomatoes with olive oil, dried oregano, balsamic vinegar, and the pressed garlic. Stir well to fully integrate the ingredients. For best flavor, let the mixture sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  2. Arrange on Serving Platter: Spread about one-third of the sun-dried tomato mixture evenly on a serving platter, creating a flavorful base layer.
  3. Prepare the Burrata: Place the burrata balls on top of the tomato mixture. Gently pull apart or make small cuts in the burrata to reveal its creamy, luscious center, allowing it to mingle with the tomatoes.
  4. Add Remaining Tomato Mixture: Spoon the rest of the sun-dried tomato mixture over and around the burrata, ensuring generous coverage for maximum flavor.
  5. Finish with Toppings: Sprinkle flaky salt and coarsely ground black pepper over the dip for seasoning. Top with toasted pine nuts to add a crunchy texture contrast.
  6. Serve: Present the dip immediately alongside crusty bread or crackers for dipping. Enjoy as a delightful appetizer or snack.

Notes

  • Allowing the sun-dried tomato mixture to rest for 15 minutes enhances the flavor development.
  • Use good-quality burrata for the creamiest texture and best taste.
  • To toast pine nuts, gently heat them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until golden and fragrant, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
  • This dip pairs well with crusty baguette slices, crostini, or your favorite crackers.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days but are best enjoyed fresh.
