Few dishes capture summer on a plate quite like this one — ripe, jewel-toned tomatoes piled beneath torn burrata that spills its lush, creamy interior across the whole platter. The combination of heirloom and cherry tomatoes brings a mix of sweetness and acidity that pairs beautifully with the rich, milky cheese. A drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil and balsamic glaze ties everything together with just enough depth and tang, while torn fresh basil keeps it bright and aromatic. The trick of letting the burrata come to room temperature before serving is a small step that makes a genuinely big difference — cold cheese won't open and flow the way it should. Everything here is straightforward and naturally free of tree nuts, so there's no need to scan labels or swap anything out. Optional red pepper flakes add a gentle kick if you want a little heat cutting through all that richness. This is the kind of dish that looks like you spent far more effort than you did, and it disappears fast every single time.

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.
