Hot Lemon + Garlic Oil Burrata Cheese (with crispy baguette)
Description
This dish centers on a fresh ball of burrata cheese brought to room temperature and topped with a warm olive oil mixture heated gently with minced garlic, shallots, lemon zest and juice, chili flakes, minced onion flakes, salt, and pepper. The warm infused oil adds fragrant citrus and mild spice notes that complement the creamy burrata. A topping of chopped walnuts and shredded Parmesan cheese adds texture and umami flavor.
The accompanying baguette is sliced into 1-inch pieces, brushed with olive oil, and toasted until crisp in the oven. The toasted bread provides a sturdy, crunchy vehicle for the soft burrata and bright oil. Fresh basil leaves garnish the plate adding herbal freshness. This appetizer can be served slightly warmed or at room temperature, perfect for sharing.
Leftover burrata should be stored airtight in the refrigerator for up to two days and can be lightly reheated briefly in a warm oven if desired. Seasonal variations include adding fresh fruits like peaches or figs to complement the cheese.
