## Instructions

2. Prepare the Pesto: In a food processor, blend basil, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, garlic, and salt. Gradually add olive oil until smooth. Add water if needed for a lighter texture. Alternatively, use a mortar and pestle.
3. Spread pesto on the bottom half of the toasted baguette.
4. Layer on fresh arugula, then slice and spread the burrata evenly.
5. Drizzle with chili oil, top with cherry tomato confit, and finish with a drizzle of balsamic glaze.
