Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Burrata
Carefully remove the burrata cheese from its packaging and drain any excess liquid. Pat it dry with paper towels to ensure a crisp coating.
- 2
Breading and Frying
- 3
Bread the Burrata
First, coat the burrata in flour, making sure it is fully covered. Next, dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing the excess to drip off, and finally coat it in the seasoned breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure they adhere.
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers. You can test the oil's readiness by dropping a small piece of breadcrumb into it; if it sizzles, it is ready.
- 5
Fry the Burrata
Carefully place the breaded burrata into the hot oil. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Do not overcrowd the pan; fry in batches if necessary.

Drain and Serve
Once fried, transfer the burrata to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve immediately while hot, drizzled with olive oil and a sprinkle of extra herbs if desired.
