Chef's notes
Pull the burrata cheese out of the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before serving so it reaches room temperature; cold burrata will not ooze and spread across the warm bread the way it should. Grill the prosciutto on foil over indirect heat only -- direct flame scorches it within seconds and turns it bitter rather than crispy; pull it the moment the edges curl and the fat turns translucent. Build the garlic oil first and let it sit while the grill preheats so the raw garlic flavor mellows and infuses the extra-virgin olive oil before it hits the bread. Slice the heirloom tomatoes no thicker than 1/4 inch and season them lightly with kosher salt a few minutes ahead; this draws out juice and concentrates flavor without making the bread soggy if you serve immediately. For a make-ahead shortcut, crisp the prosciutto up to 2 hours in advance and hold it uncovered at room temperature on a paper towel -- do not cover or refrigerate or it will go limp.
