Servings: 6 people
Ingredients
- 8 ounces crusty Italian-style bread (like ciabatta)
- Extra virgin olive oil
- 8 ounces burrata cheese
- 3 ounces prosciutto
- 1 cup grape or cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 jalapeno, seeded and minced (optional)
- 3 ounces sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 1/3 cup pitted high quality olives (I used Kalamata olives)
- 2 teaspoons capers
- 1 handful basil leaves, torn
- Kosher salt
- Black pepper
- Red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Make the quick croutons. Set your broiler to high. Tear the bread into bite-sized pieces and arrange on a sheet pan with the crust side down. Drizzle with olive oil, making sure to spread over the soft side of the bread. Broil for a couple of minutes until golden and crispy. Watch carefully! You want the bread to gain some color without burning, which is easy to do under the broiler.
- Assemble the platter. Arrange the toasted bread pieces on a large platter. Add in the burrata, prosciutto, and tomatoes. Top with the jalapeno, sun-dried tomatoes, olives, capers, and basil.
- Season an serve. Finish with a good dash of kosher salt and black pepper (particularly on the tomatoes and burrata), and a little red pepper flakes, if you don’t mind the heat. Drizzle olive oil all over and serve.
