Bruschetta & Burrata Bar

Whether you need a solid appetizer for a group, or a delicious date night dinner for 2- bruschetta and burrata make quite the pair! The acidity of the tomatoes and olives paired with the creaminess of the cheese was exquisite on its own - but add in the saltiness of the cured meat and freshness of the basil for a truly dynamic and refreshing dish.
