Burrata and Cherry Tomatoes Pizza
The cool, luscious creaminess of burrata provides a rich fat base that balances the bright acidity and concentrated sweetness of roasted cherry tomatoes.
Burrata and cherry tomatoes create a pizza that celebrates simplicity and freshness. Halved cherry tomatoes roast on the pizza and burst with concentrated sweet-tart juice, while a whole ball of burrata is placed in the center after baking, splitting open to release its creamy, stracciatella interior across the slices. This pairing needs very little else, perhaps just fresh basil and quality olive oil.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I add burrata to the pizza?
Always add burrata after baking, placing it on the center of the hot pizza so it warms and softens without losing its characteristic creamy texture.
Do cherry tomatoes make pizza soggy?
Halving them cut-side up and roasting at high heat concentrates their juice and evaporates excess moisture, actually adding flavor without making the crust soggy.
