Method

Pesto Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Basil Pesto

    In a food processor, combine the fresh basil leaves, pine nuts, garlic cloves, and grated Parmesan cheese. Pulse until the mixture is finely chopped.

  2. 2

    Add Olive Oil

    With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until the pesto reaches your desired consistency. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl occasionally.

  3. 3

    Season the Pesto

    Add salt and black pepper to taste. Pulse again to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Assembling the Dish

  1. 4

    Prepare the Burrata

    Carefully open the burrata cheese package and drain any liquid. Place the burrata on a serving plate.

  2. 5

    Add Prosciutto

    Arrange the slices of prosciutto around the burrata on the plate.

  3. 6

    Drizzle with Pesto

    Spoon generous amounts of the basil pesto over the burrata cheese.

  4. 7

    Garnish (optional)

    If desired, add halved cherry tomatoes and arugula around the plate for a fresh touch.

  5. 8

    Serve

    Serve immediately with crusty bread or crackers on the side.
