Burrata Ingredients

Method

Burrata Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Start by washing the cherry tomatoes and basil leaves under cold water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

  2. 2

    Slice the Tomatoes

    Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and place them in a mixing bowl. This will help release their juices and enhance the flavor.

  3. 3

    Dress the Tomatoes

    Drizzle the halved cherry tomatoes with 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar, and add salt and black pepper to taste. Gently toss to combine.

  4. 4

    Plate the Burrata

    On a serving plate, place the fresh burrata cheese in the center. You can either leave it whole or cut it open slightly to show the creamy interior.

  5. 5

    Add the Tomato Mixture

    Spoon the dressed cherry tomatoes around the burrata on the serving plate. Make sure to include any juices from the mixing bowl.

  6. 6

    Garnish with Basil

    Tear the basil leaves into smaller pieces and sprinkle them over the tomatoes and burrata for a fresh aroma and flavor.

  7. 7

    Final Drizzle

    Finish by drizzling the remaining 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil over the entire dish for added richness.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Serve immediately with crusty bread or crackers for dipping into the creamy burrata.
