This open-face tomato and burrata sandwich is a vibrant, summery dish that combines creamy burrata with juicy, ripe tomato slices. A spicy-sweet jalapeño and roasted red pepper relish adds bold flavor and a touch of heat that balances the richness of the cheese.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup chopped drained roasted red peppers

  • 8 slices pickled jalapeño

  • 8 basil leaves, finely chopped (about 2 tablespoons)

  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • 2 teaspoons cider vinegar

  • ⅛ teaspoon salt

  • 4 (2-ounce) slices ciabatta

  • 2 cups shredded romaine lettuce

  • 8 thick slices tomato (about 2 medium tomatoes)

  • 1 medium avocado, thinly sliced

  • 2 (3-ounce) balls burrata, each torn into 4 pieces

Method

  1. Place 1 cup roasted red peppers and 8 jalapeño slices on a cutting board; finely chop together into a rough paste. Transfer the mixture to a small bowl. Add chopped basil, 3 tablespoons oil, 2 teaspoons vinegar and ⅛ teaspoon salt; stir until well combined.
  2. Spread about 2 tablespoons of the pepper mixture over each ciabatta slice; top each with ½ cup shredded lettuce and 2 tomato slices. Divide sliced avocado and the burrata pieces among the sandwiches; drizzle with the remaining pepper mixture. Serve immediately.
