Few dishes capture summer on a plate quite like this one — ripe, jewel-toned tomatoes piled beneath torn burrata, its lush creamy interior spilling out over everything. The combination of heirloom and cherry tomatoes brings a range of sweetness and acidity that makes every bite a little different. A drizzle of good extra-virgin olive oil and balsamic glaze ties it all together with richness and a subtle tang, while torn fresh basil keeps things bright and aromatic. The trick of letting the burrata come to room temperature before serving is a small step that makes a huge difference — cold cheese simply won't give you that gorgeous, flowing center. Optional red pepper flakes add just enough heat to keep things interesting without overwhelming the delicate dairy. Every ingredient here is naturally free from coconut in any form, so there's no need to scrutinize labels or swap anything out. This is the kind of effortless, crowd-stopping dish you'll want to bring to every warm-weather gathering.

Remove the burrata from its liquid and let it sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before assembling — cold burrata will not spread or release its cream properly.
Arrange the sliced and halved tomatoes across a large serving platter in a single, slightly overlapping layer. Season the tomatoes with 1/4 tsp of the flaky sea salt and the black pepper.
