What are Tomato Burrata Bites made of?

Tomato Burrata Bites are made with simple, fresh ingredients — ripe Roma or Campari tomatoes, creamy burrata cheese, extra-virgin olive oil, fresh basil, salt, and black pepper. That’s it. It’s the kind of recipe that proves you don’t need a long ingredient list to make something amazing. Every element plays its part: the juicy tomatoes, creamy cheese, and olive oil that ties it all together.

Can I use mozzarella instead of burrata?

Yes, absolutely! If you can’t find burrata, fresh mozzarella works beautifully. It won’t have that creamy center that burrata is famous for, but it’s still delicious. You can even try a mixture of mozzarella and ricotta for a similar soft texture. I’ve done that before when burrata was sold out, and everyone still loved it.

Do I serve Tomato Burrata Bites cold or warm?

These are best served at room temperature . Cold tomatoes can lose some of their natural sweetness and flavor, so letting them sit out for a few minutes before serving really makes a difference. If you’re making these for a summer gathering, keep them chilled until just before serving — then let them rest at room temp for about 10 minutes.

How long do Tomato Burrata Bites last?

They’re best eaten fresh, ideally right after assembling. The tomatoes can start to soften if they sit too long. If you need to prep ahead, you can hollow out the tomatoes and keep them covered in the fridge for up to 4 hours. Add the burrata right before serving. Leftovers can be stored separately (burrata in its liquid, tomatoes in an airtight container), but they’re definitely best on day one.

What should I serve with Tomato Burrata Bites?

These bites pair beautifully with other light Mediterranean-style dishes. I love serving them with my Greek Hummus Platter Recipe or alongside something heartier like Roasted Chicken with Garlic Herb Butter .
