This elegant appetizer transforms the creamy richness of fresh burrata by pairing it with warm, blistered grapes roasted in balsamic vinegar and honey. The sweetness of the fruit and the crunch of toasted walnuts create a perfect textural contrast to the soft cheese.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
On a rimmed baking sheet, toss the grapes with the balsamic vinegar, honey, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, fresh thyme, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Roast the grapes in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the skins are blistered and the juices have thickened into a syrup.
While the grapes roast, place the chopped walnuts in a small dry skillet over medium heat. Toast for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant. Remove from heat immediately.
Place the burrata cheese balls in the center of a serving platter. deeply score the top of the cheese with a knife or gently tear it open with a fork to reveal the creamy interior.
Spoon the warm roasted grapes and all the pan juices directly over the burrata.
Sprinkle with the toasted walnuts, a drizzle of the remaining olive oil, flaky sea salt, and more black pepper.
Serve immediately while the grapes are warm, accompanied by the toasted baguette slices.
