What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Time To Eat: French Caviar Burrata! Holding a private gathering for a few of your closest friends requires thinking outside the box, so to speak. Appetizers can set the stage for unbelievable dinner conversation as well. When caviar comes out, people cannot help but take notice. There’s a couple unspoken rules you should know for eating caviar, though. Never chew it like bubble gum. Savor it by rolling it around in your mouth to truly allow the silky bubbles to pop naturally. Notice a touch of saltiness, yet not overpowering. You’ll want to serve it with champagne flutes, which cleanse the palate. The next bite will uncover the rich flavor of the fish eggs, especially with creamy burrata and buttered baguette toast points. Time to splurge on you, your family, or treasured guests.
FRENCH CAVIAR BURRATA
Ingredients:
2-ounce mini burrata ball, per person
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon French trout smoked caviar
1/8 teaspoon Italian herbs
1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
Toasted baguette slices, buttered
Celery leaves, for garnish
Instructions:
On a salad plate, place one mini burrata ball. Make a quarter slice, using a sharp knife. Allow the creamy center to partially flow out onto the plate. Drizzle olive oil over cheese. Top with French trout smoked caviar. Sprinkle with dried Italian herbs. Arrange cherry tomato halves, celery leaves, and toasted baguette slices around burrata cheese. Serve slightly chilled.
Thank you, Gail, it looks very beautiful and tasty!

I must say, this particular one was so much better than the one I tasted on a cruise ship years ago. You might want to give it a try…….without the cost of a cruise ticket. 😜🍃🤣
