Instructions
- Prep the burrata: Using a paper towel, pat each ball of burrata as dry as possible, then set onto individual small plates. Top as desired with truffle oil, pesto, reduced balsamic/balsamic glaze, or another topping of choice. You really can’t go wrong! Arrange the burrata on your favorite serving dish or cheese board.
- Arrange the cheese board: Arrange the meats, fruits, veggies, crackers, bread, &/or nuts around the prepared burrata. You can place things in small dishes or jars, or arrange them right on the cheese board itself. I find it’s easiest to start with the largest components, then fill in the extra spaces throughout the board with the smaller components. Have fun with it! Enjoy!
Notes
- This is really just a wireframe. An ultimate burrata cheese board will have any number of these components, but feel free to have fun with it & add in your ultimate cheese board faves!!
- Truffle oil & truffle salt are a little bougie & can be hard to find. I buy mine, affordably, from Trader Joe’s. You can also order them online. This truffle oil & this truffle salt have great reviews!
- Balsamic glaze is really similar to reduced balsamic. It’s slightly sweet and has a great syrupy texture. I love the one that Trader Joe’s sells, but you can find some sort of balsamic glaze in a squeeze bottle near the vinegars and oils in most grocery stores. If you want to make your own reduced balsamic at home, simply add a nicely aged balsamic vinegar to a saucepan over medium-low heat and simmer, stirring often, until it has reduced by half.
