Make this Olive Oil Dip with Burrata Cheese in 10 minutes! Enveloped by pizza-inspired flavours, this burrata appetizer is hard to resist.

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 small garlic clove, grated or pressed
1/3 cup diced sundried tomatoes (use sundried tomatoes packed in oil, drain oil first before dicing)
1 tsp dried oregano
3/4 tsp dried thyme
¼ tsp chili flakes
1/4 tsp salt
¼ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
2 tbsp packed minced fresh basil
2 tbsp fresh minced parsley
1 ball fresh burrata cheese (about 125-150 grams)
fresh oregano and/or basil leaves to garnish
2 tsp balsamic vinegar
For serving: fresh bread of choice (ciabatta or focaccia work really well)

To a shallow bowl add the olive oil, pressed garlic, diced sun-dried tomatoes, dried oregano, dried thyme, chili flakes, salt, grated parmesan cheese, minced fresh basil and minced fresh parsley and stir together to combine.
Add the ball of burrata to the middle of the bowl, into the olive oil mixture. Use a spoon to scoop and spoon the olive oil mixture over top of the burrata.
To serve, drizzle the balsamic vinegar over top of the burrata ball OR tear the burrata ball to reveal the center and then drizzle the balsamic vinegar onto the burrata.
Garnish with fresh oregano and/or fresh basil leaves and serve with the bread of your choice.
Tip: Warm the bread in a 350F oven for 5-10 minutes before serving with the appetizer if desired.

Take the burrata out of the fridge about 15-30 minutes before serving to take the chill off.
If you want to add a bit more flair to this recipe, add in 2 tbsp capers or finely chopped olives.
