Equipment

Ingredients

  • 4 ounces Burrata Cheese or more as desired
  • 1 pound Tomatoes * see recipe note
  • ¼ cup Fresh Basil
  • 1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 teaspoons Balsamic Glaze or balsamic vinegar
  • pinch Sea Salt
  • pinch Black Pepper

Instructions

  • Place BURRATA on serving platter and rest at room temperature 15 to 30 minutes to remove the chill.
  • Distribute TOMATOES around the burrata on serving platter.
  • Scatter FRESH BASIL, drizzle OLIVE OIL, and sprinkle SALT and PEPPER over the platter.
  • Use a sharp knife to score the burrata and open it just enough to expose the creamy inside.
  • Drizzle BALSAMIC GLAZE over the platter.
  • Serve with crostini, crackers, or French loaf and enjoy!

Notes

  • tomato variety - I prefer to use a combination of fresh heirloom tomatoes and cherry tomatoes for this recipe, but any tomatoes will work as long as they're ripe and juicy!
  • availability - Check your grocer's specialty cheese section or a specialty grocery store for availability year round.
  • handling - Burrata is a delicate cheese and should be handled with care. A large, slotted spoon is recommended when transferring.
  • water - The water that houses burrata in the storage container can be discarded or used for other recipes.
  • serving temperature - Burrata becomes creamier and more flavorful when served at room temperature.
  • make the mess - When you break open a ball of burratta cheese, it can appear messy. Go with it – it’s part of the experience.
  • leftovers - Refrigerate leftover burrata salad in an airtight container up to 24 hours.
