Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

7. While the garlic bread is cooling, prepare the burrata by gently tearing it into smaller pieces.

8. To assemble, spread the torn burrata pieces onto the toasted garlic bread halves.

9. Spoon the prepared bruschetta mixture evenly over the burrata.

10. Drizzle balsamic glaze over the assembled bruschetta and burrata.
