In my book, all the best appetizers consist of three things: bread, cheese, and fruit. It's a classic combination I turn to time and time again. It proves itself delicious once again in this balsamic roasted blackberry and burrata bruschetta.
What is Bruschetta?
Bruschetta (pronounced 'broo-SKET-uh') is an appetizer that consists of bread that is brushed with olive oil and toasted or grilled, then traditionally topped with a mixture of fresh tomato, basil, olive oil and garlic. However, it can be topped with anything, or not at all. I like to get creative with my toppings, like roasted berries and burrata in this version!
Why You'll Love This Roasted Berry Bruschetta
Roasting berries in balsamic vinegar helps to bring out a nice complexity and sweetness to their flavor. They become even more extra sweet, rich, and jammy - a perfect contrast to tangy balsamic and creamy burrata cheese. On top of toasted bread, the combination is drool-worthy and definitely an appetizer you'll have on repeat!
How To Make Roasted Blackberry Burrata Bruschetta
- Combine the blackberries, balsamic, olive oil, salt and pepper in a baking dish.
- Roast at 400°F for 15 minutes.
- Slice the bread, drizzle with olive oil and toast under the broiler for 3-5 minutes.
- Spoon the roasted berries onto the toast and top with torn pieces of burrata.
- Sprinkle with thinly sliced basil and coarse salt.
Why Use Frozen Blackberries?
It's no secret how fickle fresh berries can be. One day they're perfectly plump and beautiful and the next day they're fuzzy mush. I love using frozen blackberries because they offer consistent taste, quality, and price. Frozen blackberries are nutrient-rich, delicious, and always available - perfect for using in this appetizer! That said, you can absolutely use fresh berries if you have them. Frozen mixed berries also work well.

Great recipe and so pretty too! I think this might be fun for my 14 yo daughter to try-maybe even for breakfast-because she loves berries, sourdough bread, and fresh mozzarella. Genius idea! 🙂
