1

Take the burrata out of the fridge and leave on the counter for 30 minutes to take the chill out.

2

Preheat oven to 200°C/400°F (180°C fan).

3

Toss the cherry tomatoes with olive oil, eschalot, salt, and pepper. Spread on a tray and roast for 10 minutes until softened but not collapsing.

4

Gently push the tomatoes to one end of the tray and drizzle over vinegar.

5

Carefully transfer tomatoes to a plate, spreading them out in a single layer.

6

Gently drain the water out of the burrata tub and roll the burrata into your hand. Place it on top of the tomatoes.

7

Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil all over the plate. Dollop pesto randomly all over. Sprinkle with salt flakes and basil.

8

Serve with crusty bread on the side.

9

Break into the burrata with a serving spoon and let the center ooze out. Scoop up a bit of everything, pile onto bread, and eat! Don't forget to mop the plate clean.
