Add extra virgin olive oil to a cast iron skillet and heat until warm.

Add shallots and garlic to the skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring consistently to prevent burning.

Add 1 and 1/4 cups cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook until they start to soften and burst, about a few minutes.

Once the cherry tomatoes are bursting, add diced tomatoes and plain tomato sauce to the skillet.

Mix in oregano, basil, and garlic salt, and let simmer for about 10 minutes on low heat.

After simmering, taste the mixture and adjust if necessary.

Add cream cheese to the skillet and mix until melted and incorporated.

Tear fresh mozzarella into pieces and add to the mixture, mixing until melted.

Add 8 oz of pepperoni, layering it into the mixture and pushing it in.

Transfer the mixture to a baking dish for easier transport, reserving some pepperoni for topping.

Top with additional mozzarella and 2 pieces of burrata, adding in chunks.

Finish with some fresh tomatoes on top.
