What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Timeless Classics: Cheesy Burrata! For those of you who are unfamiliar with Burrata cheese, allow me to tell you a little bit about it. Imagine a soft delicate layer of mozzarella cheese stretched thin like a piece of hand-formed pie dough. It is placed into a bowl so the center can be filled like a porcelain white water balloon. Inside is heavy cream as rich as butter and luscious cheese curds. The pouch is then tightly tied at the top to ensure maximum freshness. The taste is extraordinary. It’s enough to make you roll your eyes and swoon.
CHEESY BURRATA
Ingredients:
8 ounce Burrata cheese
Fresh basil
Cherry tomatoes, halved
1 tablespoon olive oil
Herbs de Provence
Sea salt to taste
Instructions:
Place the Burrata cheese on a platter surrounded by fresh basil and cherry tomatoes. Drizzle with olive oil. Add a sprinkling of Herbs de Provence and sea salt to taste. Serve with crusty artisan breads or crackers.
It almost looks too pretty to eat. Almost.

You will. Trader Joe’s, Jungle Jim’s, for sure. Perhaps an Italian market in your area.

I almost picked some of this up at Trader Joe’s today, but decided to buy it some other time as we have a ton of cheese at home right now. But I can’t wait to try it!
