How to Make Heirloom Tomato Mozzarella And Basil Side Dish

  2. Place 4 ounces of burrata (or fresh mozzarella) on top of each tomato half.
  3. Create a chiffonade of fresh basil leaves: stack leaves, roll tightly, and slice into thin ribbons. Use about 1/4 cup of basil, dividing it evenly between the four tomato halves.
  4. Drizzle generously with 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil and 1 teaspoon balsamic glaze.
  5. Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy!
