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.
