Notes & Tips

Use high-quality ingredients since this dish is all about simple, fresh flavors.

Burrata should be served at room temperature for the best creamy texture.

Balsamic glaze adds a sweet, tangy depth—make your own by simmering balsamic vinegar until thickened.

Serve with toasted bread for extra texture and flavor.
