Burrata cheese with roasted cherry tomatoes

I love cherry tomatoes, their acidity and sweetness, after all the holiday eating and indulging,  it's time to get back to old good habits and lighten up our diet. and this is a perfect way of doing that. I found this beautiful vine tomatoes and season them with salt, pepper, olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

 I tasted Burrata last year for the first time in an little italian restaurant, my family use to visit, since I have fallen in love with. Burrata is a fresh Italian cheese made from mozzarella and cream. The outer shell is solid mozzarella, while the inside contains both mozzarella and cream, giving it an unusual, soft texture. The word burrata means "buttered" in Italian.

And 15 minutes  later, in a 350F oven, they will look like this. A little dehydrated but still fairly plump, you can cook them longer if you want. At the same time I toasted some french baguette toasts to go with this hearty beautiful salad. (this is optional, if you want to keep it light you can also try son multigrain crackers).
