Ingredients

1 8 oz. Container Burrata Cheese (comes with 2 balls)
5 Large Bell Peppers (Green. Red, Yellow, Orange)
5 Garlic Cloves (Smashed not cut)
6 Basil Leaves
1 Tbsp. Thick Aged Balsamic Vinegar or Glaze *See note
½ Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Fresh Italian Baguette (For dipping)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400° F. Cut peppers into thin strips (about ¼" wide), and spread onto a baking sheet with roughly chopped garlic cloves. Season with salt and fresh cracked black pepper.
Coat generously with olive oil. (about ½ cup)
Bake until you get a light char on your peppers (about 25 minutes).
Pour entire pan (including oil) into a shallow serving bowl/dish. Chill for at least an hour or until it comes to room temp.
Chop up your mozzarella balls and place in the center of the peppers.
Finish with a drizzle of balsamic glaze over the entire dish and chopped fresh basil. S⅔erve alongside crusty bread warmed or room temperature.

Notes

The longer you allow this to sit in the fridge, the yummier it will taste! So opt for overnight if you can.
Crusty, crostini-like bread goes perfectly with this! Just slice it thin and toast lightly!
You can add any vegetables to this as you like! Just keep in mind that some veggies may need a longer to roasting time!

Serve with a pitcher of my limoncello Spritz or non-alcoholic Aperol spritz for a true Italian drink pairing!
