• 2 teaspoons dried oregano

• 2 teaspoons garlic powder

For Assembling

Instructions:

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

2. In a mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, chopped basil leaves, minced garlic, finely chopped red onion, balsamic vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss well to combine. Let the bruschetta mixture sit at room temperature while you prepare the garlic bread.

6. Once the garlic bread is toasted, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly.

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.

11. Slice the garlic bread into serving portions and serve immediately.
