Burrata Caprese
Don’t think of this as another salad recipe, it’s rather a show stopping plate! A perfect starter or appetizer to any meal, or a luscious side dish. It’s one of those recipes you can easily customize with seasonal fruits, or different salad dressings so it can be made endlessly!
I’m making it today with the classic Caprese flavors and a simple balsamic dressing similar to the one I used in the Burrata Salad or a basic balsamic olive oil mix like with those Caprese Skewers.
Burrata Caprese Ingredients
What is burrata and how do you eat it?
Burrata is a fresh soft cheese from Italy. It comes in a round shape with a fresh mozzarella shell and a creamy curd interior. When you break open that mozzarella shell, the creamy curd comes oozing out. You can eat it as it is, or with Pasta, in a Salad, Pizza, and so much more!
How to Make Burrata Caprese
Why is it called Caprese?
The caprese salad is one of Italy’s staple and it’s named after the island of Capri. Caprese comes in many forms, you can have Caprese Pizza which combines the same flavors of the salad. Also Chicken Caprese is a succulent delicious chicken dinner that you will ENJOY more than you think! Caprese Skewers is like having bite size flavors of Caprese on a stick.
Is burrata cheese similar to mozzarella?
Burrata cheese is in fact a round of mozzarella cheese, but with a cream curd interior. So imagine a ball of fresh mozzarella cheese that cuts open and the inside is a creamy curd that oozes out. It’s much tastier than mozzarella and you’ll notice the different textures and taste when you try burrata!
It’s best served at room temperature so you can fully enjoy the taste and textures of this gorgeous cheese. I love to keep it at room temperature 30 mins before serving. My other favorite way is to serve it over a hot dish like Burrata Pasta and watch as the cheese gently starts to soften up into the hot pasta. SO GOOD!
