In my opinion, the best Burrata Appetizer allows the burrata to take center stage, drizzled with a balsamic reduction, and paired with accoutrements like pear, prosciutto, toasts, jam, dates, and nuts. No cooking required, and only 10 minutes to make!
Our Burrata Appetizer is effortless.
Our Burrata Appetizer is effortless.This is always such a fun appetizer to serve. It doesn’t involve any cooking at all–just arranging items on a board which means no dirty dishes–yet, it always steals the show. If you’re not familiar with burrata, it’s a round cheese made from fresh mozzarella with a creamy center.
I love the bright colors and fresh ingredients we pair it with, and there’s something on the board for everyone.
