Toasted ciabatta topped with fresh tomatoes, basil, and sweet cherries then drizzled with balsamic vinaigrette. These cherry caprese crostinis are perfect for an appetizer or snack.
Ingredients
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
pinch of salt
1 cup halved or quartered and depitted cherries
Olive oil
8-12 slices of baguette or ciabatta
4 oz burrata, more as needed
1 large tomato, sliced
Basil leaves, torn into small pieces
Directions:
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, and a pinch of salt. Add halved or quartered cherries, and mix until the cherries are coated with the balsamic vinaigrette. Set aside for now.
Drizzle a little bit of olive oil, or if you prefer, butter, on both sides of the bread and then place it in the oven for a few minutes or on the grill until browned.
Place layers of creamy burrata on each of the toasts, then freshly sliced tomatoes, torn up basil leaves, and the marinated cherries. Drizzle the rest of the vinaigrette on top of the crostini.
Serve the cherry caprese crostini warm.
