If you\u2019re like me, you\u2019ll look for any excuse to eat cheese in the middle of the afternoon. Soft cheeses are my favorite, especially a big ball of creamy burrata. And, luckily, there are so many ways to eat burrata: on top of pizza, alongside fruit (like grilled nectarines<\/a>) or made into a charcuterie-inspired burrata board<\/a>. But nothing beats the beauty and simplicity of throwing together a thick piece of burrata toast for an easy afternoon indulgence. We\u2019ll show you how to make burrata toast in four simple steps, plus five variations for the ultimate snack.<\/p>\n

What is burrata?<\/h2>\n

Burrata<\/a> is a large, round ball of soft cheese. It\u2019s made with an outer shell of mozzarella and filled with stracciatella. This Italian cheese has a rich and buttery flavor with an excellent textural contrast, thanks to the soft but snappy shell and creamy center. Burrata used to be a lesser-known type of cheese<\/a>, but it\u2019s everywhere now!<\/p>\n

The process of making burrata starts the same way as mozzarella. The cheese is made by taking milk and heating it so the burrata is pasteurized<\/a>. It\u2019s then set with rennet and shredded into curds. Some of the curds are formed into a pouch to make the shell of the burrata. The other curds are stretched and soaked in cream, then stuffed into the shell of the burrata.<\/p>\n
