Step 1
Start by making the fresh pesto. This can be done with a food processor or a mortar and pestle.
Caution! The steel blades of a food processor can cause basil to oxidize. This is why a mortar is often used.
Step 2
Toast the pine nuts so that they are golden brown. Then mix or mash together the basil, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, garlic and olive oil.
Step 3
Keep a few basil leaves aside for garnish. Don't have time to make the fresh pesto yourself? Then buy fresh pesto from the supermarket.
Step 4
Then slice the tomatoes horizontally (about 1 cm). Tear the burrata into pieces and place it on a slice of tomato.
Step 5
Garnish with the fresh pesto and crema di balsamico. Season with salt and pepper. Top the amuse with two basil leaves.
Step 6
Tasty!
