Preparation

Preparing the Balsamic Drizzle

Combine ingredients

In a small saucepan, combine balsamic vinegar and honey.

Bring to a boil

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer.

Reduce mixture

Stir occasionally until the mixture is reduced by half and coats the back of a spoon.

Be careful not to over-reduce the balsamic as it may become too sticky or bitter. Allow the drizzle to cool slightly before drizzling.

Assembling the Bruschetta

Preheat and prepare bread

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place baguette slices on a baking sheet and brush with olive oil.

Toast baguette slices

Toast in the oven for 5-7 minutes until golden and crisp.

Cooking Process

Sautéing cherry tomatoes

Lightly dry sauté cherry tomato halves with a pinch of salt.

Toasting bread

Crisp the baguette slices in the oven until golden brown.

Assembling bruschetta

Layer the tomato halves, burrata, and torn basil on each slice, finished with a drizzle of balsamic reduction.
