METHOD

1. Preheat oven to 200°C. Place tomatoes in a small baking dish. Add garlic, oregano, oil, salt and pepper and toss to combine.
2. Bake tomatoes until softened and have burst, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool slightly.
3. Meanwhile, fill a small pastry bag fitted with a round tip or a resealable plastic bag with a small corner snipped off with pesto. Using a sharp
   knife, make a small cut in burrata. Holding burrata in one hand, insert piping bag into cut and gently fill ball with pesto until ball feels heavier
   and some pesto oozes out of hole.
4. Spoon tomatoes onto a platter. Top with stuffed burrata. Garnish with sea salt and drizzle with more oil.
