With a serrated knife, cut the tomatoes into ¼-inch thick slices. Arrange them on a large serving platter, overlapping their edges and varying the shapes as best you can.
Cut the burrata or mozzarella into ¼-inch to ½-inch slices. Tuck the cheese around and underneath the tomatoes, dispersing it relatively evenly across the platter.
Sprinkle basil leaves all over, and tuck a few more into the crevices. Drizzle the olive oil over the salad. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.
