I love a classic flavor combination, and these grilled cherry tomato and basil crostini with tangy balsamic glaze and creamy burrata cheese really hit the spot! They are especially perfect for a relaxing, rustic dinner party.

Hors d’oeuvres are the perfect way to set the tone for your next dinner party. And using a classic flavor combination like cherry tomatoes, balsamic, basil and mozzarella is bound to make everyone happy. I love this recipe because it takes this traditional palate of flavors and elevates it with the use of burrata cheese instead of regular mozzarella (read all about my love of burrata cheese here!). Additionally, it captures this combination of ingredients in a cute, two-bite hors d’oeuvres that sets a rustic and casual tone for company.

In this recipe, you can use a grill pan to roast the cherry tomatoes, so it’s much simpler than pulling out the charcoal and the lighter, which I love. The grilled cherry tomatoes are simply tossed with olive oil, salt and pepper and then piled on crostini topped with whipped burrata cheese. Fresh basil and a thick balsamic glaze complete this yummy dish!
