This summery skillet recipe of Grilled Tomatoes with Burrata and Basil is a great appetizer, light lunch or dinner served over pasta!

We’ve been spending a lot of time camping this summer up in Northern Minnesota. It’s been so nice to relax and unplug for a few days and really enjoy the hot summer afternoons. We spend most of our time at the lake swimming, scuba diving, hiking and off roading on our dirt bikes but as you know, food is never far from my mind.

Camp cooking isn’t as easy or convenient as cooking at home in my well stocked kitchen but it is a fun challenge that I’ll gladly accept! My sister is a big weekend warrior too and has a few camp cooking hacks up her sleeve that I’ve recently been admiring. My favorite is one that I used in this recipe – mix, cook and serve in the same pan so you don’t have to wash a lot of dishes. See how smart that girl is? So, skip the bowl and take 5 minutes to throw some tomatoes, a few aromatics and some olive oil together into a skillet. You’ll be so happy you did!

This recipe is great for small and super flavorful tomatoes like the ones that are absolutely taking over my garden right now! If you don’t have your own backyard stash, any grape or cherry tomato will work but aim for something with lots of color. As for the cheese, burrata is currently having a moment and it will simply melt right into the tomatoes but, a few slices of fresh mozzarella will work great too!

Serve this summery skillet of cheese topped tomato-y goodness with some grilled bread as a snack or with a pile of pasta for a super easy dinner!
