Notes
- This recipe serves 4 generously. I usually serve one ball of burrata and two medium-sized tomatoes for 2 people. If you are serving a larger crowd, you can multiply this recipe using this ratio.
- You can serve burrata as a whole or gently break it to reveal the creamy center. This way, your guests can easily serve themselves.
- Yields: This recipe serves 4 generously. I usually serve one ball of burrata and two medium-sized tomatoes for 2 people. If you are serving a larger crowd, you can multiply this recipe using this ratio.
- Tomatoes: While we use heirloom tomatoes in the recipe, you can use any type of tomatoes you have on hand. Cherry tomatoes, vine-ripened tomatoes and even roasted tomatoes would work in this recipe.
- You can serve burrata as a whole or gently break it to reveal the creamy center. This way, your guests can easily serve themselves.
- Storage: Leftover burrata caprese will keep for 2-3 days in an airtight container in the fridge. However, keep in mind the buratta's cream will solidify and lose its viscosity over time, so it will not be as creamy on days two and three.
