- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp aged balsamic vinegar
- Salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
- 1 cup fresh burrata cheese
- 1/2 cup toasted breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare Your Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and black pepper.
- Marinate the Peppers: Slice the bell peppers into quarters, removing seeds and stems. Toss them in the marinade until well-coated. Allow them to marinate for at least 30 minutes.

- Assemble Your Dish: On a serving platter, layer grilled peppers and dollops of burrata cheese.
- Add Some Crunch: Sprinkle the toasted breadcrumbs over the peppers and top with chopped basil. Drizzle any remaining marinade for added flavor.
