Ingredients

Ingredients List
  • 1 small tomato, sliced

  • 1 tablespoon Italian dressing

  • 1 slice crusty bread

  • ½ tablespoon olive oil

  • 2 ounces burrata cheese

  • 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese, divided

  • teaspoon dried oregano

  • 2 tablespoons marinara sauce, warmed

  • dried red pepper flakes (Optional)

  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste


Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  2. Place tomato slices in a small dish, and top with Italian dressing. Flip the tomato slices, being sure that all have been covered with dressing. Set aside for 5 minutes.

  3. Brush both sides of bread with olive oil, and place in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Toast both sides until golden brown and crispy, about 3 minutes.

  4. Place toasted bread on a baking sheet and spread burrata cheese on top. Add sliced tomatoes and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese and oregano.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 13 minutes.

  6. Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and turn on the oven's broiler. Move baking sheet up and briefly broil until the cheese starts to bubble and brown, 1 to 2 minutes, watching carefully to keep from burning.

  7. Remove from the oven, and spoon over marinara, sprinkle and sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Slice on the diagonal, and serve immediately.

Cook's Note:

You can customize the toppings, but don't use so many that they will make the toast soggy. Suggested choices for bread are sourdough or artisan, but that's not required.
