Ingredients
For the garlic toasts:
- 1 loaf rustic bread
- Olive oil
- 2 peeled garlic cloves
For the burrata:
- 16 oz grape
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Kosher salt
- 8 ounces burrata

- Place the burrata on a platter or serving dish when you’re ready to serve. The burrata should be surrounded by tomatoes.
