There's nothing quite like a burrata recipe when you're craving cheese. It's soft, creamy, and pairs so well with salads, pastas and cheese boards, that it's no wonder you'll keep going back for more.
9 Burrata Recipes That Are Bursting with Flavor
Updated on Jun. 01, 2023
While there are plenty of fun ways to get creative with burrata cheese, making a simple burrata recipe with basic ingredients is one of the easiest ways to enjoy its buttery flavors and silken texture without overpowering the lightness of the cheese.
To fully enjoy the flavors and texture, the best way to serve burrata is at room temperature. When topping it on salads or crostini, simply leave it out on your counter to rest for 30 minutes while you prep the rest of the meal. If you’re deep-frying it, though, freezing the burrata is better than leaving it to rest at room temperature. Freezing will ensure that the burrata doesn’t melt in the hot oil.
And if you really want to make all your burrata dishes shine, make your own burrata with just three ingredients!
