- Cherry Tomatoes. These are best for roasting and they are bite sized. Use any color.

Step Two. Preheat oven to broil (low). Add tomatoes and sliced onion to a sheet pan and drizzle with olive oil and a generous sprinkle of salt. Place in the oven and roast for about 4-5 minutes. Keep a CLOSE eye on it to avoid burning. Broil settings get hot!
Step Three. In a medium sized serving dish (6-8 inch) layer the burrata by gently tearing it into pieces and spreading it around the dish. Top with the roasted onions and tomatoes, blobs of pesto and finish off with a heavy drizzle of balsamic glaze. Serve with toasted baguette or crackers.
