02 - Toast in the oven for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
03 - In a bowl, toss cherry tomato halves with 1 tablespoon olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Spread on a separate section of the baking sheet or use a second sheet.
04 - Roast for 10-12 minutes, until tomatoes are softened and just starting to burst.
05 - Remove bread and tomatoes from the oven and allow to cool slightly.
06 - Gently tear burrata cheese and spoon onto each crostini. Top with roasted cherry tomatoes.
07 - Scatter fresh basil over the crostini and finish with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt if desired. Serve immediately.
