Notes

  • Burrata is a fresh Italian cheese originated from the Puglia region, it is obtained from whole, raw or pasteurized cow's milk. Burrata is characterized by an outer layer of solid mozzarella and a heart enriched with fresh cream or butter. The texture is softer than that of mozzarella. It is actually quite spreadable when used in a sandwich. If you prefer you can use regular fresh mozzarella for the recipe.
