1
Bring burrata to room temperature (about 30-60 minutes) to soften for easy scooping.
2
Roast garlic (if not pre-roasted)
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the tops off the garlic bulbs to expose the cloves. Drizzle with a little olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast 35-45 minutes until very soft and caramelized. Let cool slightly.
3
Grill the bread
Slice a crusty Italian loaf into 12 thick slices. Brush both sides with estate olive oil and grill on medium-high heat until golden and grill-marked, about 1-2 minutes per side.
4
Assemble burrata with garlic
Place the burrata on a serving platter. Nestle roasted garlic cloves around the burrata or place a few on top for easy access.
5
Finish and season
Drizzle 1-2 tablespoons of estate olive oil over the burrata. Lightly season with sea salt and cracked black pepper. Tear some basil leaves over the cheese.
6
Garnish and serve
Garnish with torn basil leaves. If using, sprinkle lemon zest and red pepper flakes for brightness. Serve immediately with warm grilled bread for dipping.
