Instructions
Add olive oil to a small sauce pan.
Add thinly sliced garlic and heat over low heat for 5 minutes.
While the olive oil is heating, place sliced French baguette on a parchment lined baking sheet.
Brush each slice with olive oil on one side.
Broil for 1-2 minutes or until dark golden brown. Flip bread over and brush the other side with olive oil. Broil for 1-2 minutes or until dark golden brown.
Place burrata in a small, shallow serving dish. Pour garlic and olive oil over burrata.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with crostini.
Tips
- Get a good quality olive oil. I dive a little deeper into choosing the right olive oil over on my Olive Oil Bread Dip post. Basically you’re looking for something organic and cold pressed. It doesn’t have to cost $20 for a bottle. But you’re investing in the flavor and when olive oil is basically the main ingredient you definitely want to get something with a taste that you enjoy.
- Slice fresh garlic. Skip the jarred stuff on the shelf at your grocery store. And opt for a freshly sliced clove of garlic. You won’t be sorry and the extra minute that it takes you to slice it will be totally worth it! There is no competition when it comes to fresh sliced garlic over jarred garlic.

Fabulous and soooo easy! Making my second in one week; my Italian husband can’t get enough! We’re showcasing fresh tomatoes and basil from The Tiny Garden. (One raised bed that yields tomatoes and herbs).
This is the perfect appetizer for fresh summer tomatoes! Great idea, Vera. Thanks for leaving a review 🙂
This looks delicious and can’t wait to try it! My question: is the olive oil still warm when you pour on the Burrata?
This is one of my favorites! The olive oil is slightly warm but since it’s cooked over low heat it’s definitely not hot or even too warm. Also the burrata has a pretty substantial layer of fresh mozzarella on it so it’s not like it’s going to melt or anything. Great question, Jeri! Can’t wait to hear what you think if you give it a try!
Absolutely delicious fabulous recipe!
I’m so glad that you enjoyed this recipe, Sheri! Thanks for leaving a review – I really appreciate it 🙂
How can a recipe so easy taste so amazing. I had leftover Burrata and have had this 3 nights in a row!
Oh my gosh I could not agree more! This is one of my favorites!!
This is so good. My company loved it. I am pregnant and just got out of bed to finish it off. It’s going on my entertaining recipe list! Thanks!
