Ingredients
  

2 cups ripe heirloom tomatoes, quartered (blush varieties preferred)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar

1 teaspoon honey

Salt and pepper, to taste

8 oz fresh burrata cheese

1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, torn

1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted

1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs

2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Zest of 1 lemon

Instructions
 

Prepare Tomatoes: In a mixing bowl, combine the quartered heirloom tomatoes with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper. Gently toss to coat the tomatoes evenly. Let them marinate for about 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

    Toast Breadcrumbs: In a skillet over medium heat, add the panko breadcrumbs and toast until golden brown, stirring frequently, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and mix in the grated Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Set aside.

      Assemble the Dish: In a serving platter or individual bowls, arrange the marinated tomatoes in an even layer. Tear the burrata cheese into pieces and place it generously over the tomatoes.

        Top and Garnish: Scatter the toasted panko mixture over the burrata and tomatoes. Sprinkle the torn basil leaves on top and finish with a drizzle of olive oil and an extra pinch of salt and pepper if desired.

          Serve: Serve immediately, allowing the warm to slightly melt the burrata, creating a deliciously creamy texture that mingles with the juicy tomatoes and crispy crumble.
