The best tomato and burrata prosciutto sandwiches with garlic confit! Toasted bread with garlic spread, tomatoes, creamy cheese, prosciutto and basil!

Ingredients 

For Garlic Confit:

  • 40 cloves of garlic, about 3 to 4 heads of garlic
  • 1 cup olive oil, or avocado oil
  • 1 bundle of fresh thyme
  • ground black pepper

For Sandwiches:

  • 1 ciabatta bread loaf, or similar bread
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise, optional
  • 4 small burrata cheese balls
  • 2 large heirloom tomatoes
  • 16 slices prosciutto
  • 1 large bundle of fresh basil
  • salt and pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil, for topping
  • 2 tbsp balsamic glaze, for topping

Instructions

  • Start by preparing the garlic confit. Peel the garlic and then place the cloves in a small saucepan. Pour in oil – you can use avocado or olive oil – until the garlic cloves are almost completely covered. Add in the fresh thyme and season with pepper.
  • Bring the oil to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce the heat to the lowest setting, cover the pan, and simmer for 45 minutes to an hour. The garlic should be extra soft and golden.
  • Remove the garlic oil from the heat. It can be used right away for the sandwiches.
  • Slice the bread into thick slices and place the bread onto a baking sheet. Using a pastry brush, dip into the garlic oil, then brush each slice generously. Toast the bread using the oven broiler; or you can toast each slice in a frying pan.
  • If desired, spread a generous amount of mayonnaise onto the bread. Next, add about 4 to 6 cloves of garlic per slice, then mash it and spread it evenly over the bread.
  • Top the garlic with creamy burrata cheese, spreading it to the edges. Next, add several pieces of sliced tomatoes and season the tomato generously with salt and pepper.
  • Add several pieces of prosciutto on top, then sprinkle with the fresh chopped basil.
  • Drizzle a touch of olive oil and balsamic glaze over each slice and enjoy!
