Burrata is our newest addiction; it's decadent and delicious. This is a beautiful presentation although we find it easier to simply place the burrata on a plate sprinkle with salt and pepper drizzle with a good quality extra virgin olive oil and slather it on baguette slices or tomatoes and top with chopped fresh basil. Try it it's like a taste of summer.

OMG! I never thought of using Burrata this way! I usually just scoff it down slowly of course. This cheese is a bit hard to find and not likely at your local grocery but if you have a Fresh Market or cheese shop near by you should be O.K. It's definitely worth the search and farm fresh tomatoes are mandatory! (In a pinch fresh mozzarella will work but not as wonderful to eat.) Chef John has done it again!!
This recipe is my family's favorite! We added a lot of basil and the only thing we did different was add lots of balsamic which to us gave it the kick it needs. Lots more flavor that way! We put it over a sliced banquette. Yummy!!!
Nice but kept thinking something was missing so added balsamic vinegar.
This was amazing. I have never had buratta before and it is really delicious. I used 3 large tomatoes and basil straight from the garden and cut each tomato into 4 slices. I made 6 "buratta sandwiches" 3 with balsamic and 3 without. We all agreed the ones with the balsamic were better. I can't wait to use the rest of the burrata tomorrow. Thanks for another great recipe Chef John.
Burrata where have you been all my life? I went to an Italian specialty store father/son type business and asked. Well Pop was at the market at that very moment and an hour later I went to try my first taste of this new obsession. My tomatoes and basil were abundant in my garden. In case the color is distorted I used yellow and orange low acid varieties please don't think this was an unripe red. I love the presentation the flavors divine. I wish I had company planned so I could impress someone! I did not use any vinegar; would have been a shame to mask the delicate flavors. Also used Himalayan pink salt slightly too much. Definitely have some crusty Italian bread on hand not to spread the cheese but to mop up every last drop of goodness from your plate. Summer ripe tomatoes and fresh mozzarella are one of my favorite food. I shall never think of them the same way again.
Amazing!! So simple but again Amazing! I just added a few drops of balsamic
Loved it! Would not change a thing!
Traveled from Texas to Wisconsin to get the Buratta Cheese (okay I went to watch the Packers play but I wanted the cheese too). Very good very refreshing. You should really try this.
Good starter recipe........kind of bland. I would add oregano and or garlic next time.
