Prepare the Tomatoes: Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Arrange the tomatoes on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil and red wine vinegar, then sprinkle with dried oregano, garlic powder, chilli flakes (if desired), and a pinch of salt. Toss to ensure the tomatoes are evenly coated.
Roast the Tomatoes: Roast in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the tomatoes are soft and just beginning to burst. This roasting process intensifies their natural sweetness and adds a delightful depth of flavour.
Toast the Baguette: While the tomatoes are roasting, arrange the baguette slices on a separate baking sheet. Lightly brush each slice with olive oil. Toast in the oven for about 10 minutes or until golden and crisp. Keep a close watch to prevent burning.
Assemble the Appetiser: Transfer the roasted tomatoes to a serving platter, placing the burrata cheese in the center. The warmth of the tomatoes will gently soften the burrata, enhancing its creamy texture.
Garnish and Serve: Scatter fresh basil leaves over the dish for a burst of colour and aroma. Serve immediately alongside the toasted baguette slices, allowing guests to spread the creamy burrata and juicy tomatoes onto the crispy bread.
