Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation of Pesto

  1. 1

    Toast Pine Nuts

    In a small skillet over medium heat, toast the pine nuts for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden brown and fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool.

  2. 2

    Blend Ingredients

    In a food processor, combine the fresh basil leaves, toasted pine nuts, garlic cloves, Parmesan cheese, and salt. Pulse until coarsely chopped.

  3. 3

    Add Olive Oil

    While the food processor is running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning with black pepper.

Serving

  1. 4

    Plate the Burrata

    Place the burrata cheese on a serving platter. Using a spoon, gently break the outer shell to expose the creamy interior.

  2. 5

    Add Pesto

    Spoon the freshly made pesto generously over the burrata cheese.

  3. 6

    Garnish

    Drizzle a little more olive oil on top if desired and sprinkle with additional black pepper. Serve with crusty bread or crackers.
