Ingredients
Scale
Dip Base
- 2 burrata balls
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil, drained and chopped)
- 1 garlic clove (pressed)
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
Toppings
- 2 tbsp toasted pine nuts
- Coarsely ground black pepper (to taste)
- Flaky salt (to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare Sun-Dried Tomato Mixture: In a bowl, combine the chopped sun-dried tomatoes with olive oil, dried oregano, balsamic vinegar, and the pressed garlic. Stir well until fully incorporated. For best flavor, let the mixture sit for at least 15 minutes allowing the ingredients to meld.
- Assemble the Dip: Spread one-third of the sun-dried tomato mixture evenly onto a serving platter or shallow dish to create a flavorful base layer.
- Add Burrata Cheese: Place both burrata balls on top of the tomato mixture. Gently pull apart the burrata or make small cuts to expose the creamy center inside, allowing it to mix with the tomato flavors.
- Top the Dip: Spoon the remaining sun-dried tomato mixture over and around the burrata. Sprinkle toasted pine nuts, flaky salt, and coarsely ground black pepper evenly over the top for added texture, flavor, and seasoning.
- Serve: Serve immediately alongside crusty bread, crackers, or your favorite dipping accompaniments. Enjoy this rich and aromatic dip as a perfect starter or snack.
Notes
- Allowing the tomato mixture to rest enhances the flavor significantly.
- Use sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil for best texture and richness.
- To toast pine nuts, sauté them in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden and fragrant.
- Serve with sliced baguette or artisan crackers for best pairing.
- Can be prepared ahead by making the tomato mixture and storing it separately in the fridge.
