Notes

 

I don’t find the heirloom tomatoes in my stores, what can I use instead?
No problem at all, you can use certainly cherry tomatoes, they are sweet, or any tomatoes varieties really: the sweeter the better.
 
I don’t have or can’t find burrata cheese, what can I use instead?
You can substitute the burrata cheese with mozzarella cheese or cottage cheese, but the flavor will be different though as the burrata cheese has a more delicate and creamy taste.
 
How long can I store the tomato tart with pesto and burrata?           
It can be stored in the fridge, close in airtight, for up to 3 days.
