Method

Step‑by‑Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Wrap the burrata cheese in a clean towel to absorb excess moisture.
In a baking dish, combine olive oil, cherry tomatoes, minced garlic, fresh oregano, and crushed fennel seeds. Season with kosher salt, black pepper, and chili flakes. Bake for 15-20 minutes.
Blend cream cheese with shredded mozzarella until smooth. Set aside.
After roasting, lower the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C). Spread creamy cheese mixture over tomatoes and top with shredded provolone, burrata, and pepperoni.
Bake for an additional 15 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with fresh basil and serve warm with toasted baguette slices or tortilla chips.
