Description
A stunning appetizer featuring creamy burrata and vibrant Mediterranean ingredients.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 burrata balls
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup roasted red peppers, sliced
- 1/2 cup Kalamata olives
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup marinated artichoke hearts, quartered
- 1 tbsp balsamic glaze
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Crackers or sliced baguette, for serving
Instructions
- Start by placing the two burrata balls in the center of your serving board. This will serve as the focal point of your appetizer, allowing guests to see the creamy texture right away. Burrata is known for its soft, creamy interior and delicate skin, offering a delightful contrast to the firmer textures of the other ingredients.
- Once your burrata is centered, it’s time to artistically arrange the cherry tomatoes, sliced roasted red peppers, Kalamata olives, and marinated artichokes around the burrata. Make sure to scatter them evenly for a vibrant presentation. You can either place them directly beside the burrata or create small sections around it. This arrangement not only makes the board visually appealing but also enhances the ease with which guests can serve themselves.
- Now, scatter the fresh basil leaves on top of the board. The bright green basil not only adds a wonderful aroma but also complements the flavors of the burrata and other ingredients. Next, drizzle the extra virgin olive oil and balsamic glaze generously over the entire arrangement. This step brings all the flavors together and gives the dish a gourmet touch. Finally, season lightly with salt and pepper, enhancing the flavors without overpowering them. Present the board immediately alongside your choice of crackers or slices of baguette, letting your guests dive in!
Notes
