Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Toss tomatoes with olive oil, a pinch of kosher salt and fresh black pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet covered with parchment. Bake for 15-20 minutes until beginning to soften. Remove from oven and allow them to cool.
Spread bread slices on a baking sheet and brush with olive oil on both sides. Bake for 5-7 minutes or until just golden brown on both sides, flipping halfway through. Remove from oven and let it cool for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, gently take the burrata out of the water and pat very carefully with a paper towel. Tear into pieces, placing about 1/3-1/2 on each toast and spreading around to get a little bit of the shell exterior and the inner cream. Sprinkle with a tiny bit of kosher salt and black pepper.
Top the burrata with roasted tomatoes, sliced strawberries, and sliced apple respectively. On the apple, drizzle the honey over top. On the strawberries and tomatoes, sprinkle the basil. Serve immediately.

Notes

Substitutes for burrata include mascarpone cheese, really good quality ricotta, and fresh mozzarella.
Mint also works well as a replacement for basil on the strawberry. Oregano works well with the roasted tomatoes.
