Herbs Over Burrata

What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? A Cut Above: Herbs Over Burrata! A fresh mozzarella ball and a fresh burrata ball may appear to be the same thing, but actually they are quite different, kind of. Burrata has an outer skin of mozzarella, but the secret lies in the inner pouch filled with fresh cheese curds and cream. This makes it more flavorful, rich-tasting, and buttery. By adding chopped herbs and seasoning, burrata transforms into an elegant appetizer that will impress even the fussiest palate. Don’t believe me? What have you got to lose? Worst case scenario, you get it all to yourself. 

HERBS OVER BURRATA 

Ingredients:

2 small burrata balls, room temperature 

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped

1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped

1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon champagne vinegar

1 package garlic bagel chips 

Instructions:

Place the burrata balls in a shallow dish. Combine chopped parsley, chopped basil, chopped chives, sesame seeds, and cayenne pepper in a bowl. Mix well. Add olive oil and champagne vinegar. Stir until thoroughly mixed. Make a cut across the tops of the burrata to release the luscious center inside. Spoon the herb mixture over the top and dredge eat bite onto garlic bagel chips.
