Burrata & Prosciutto
It's hard to beat Burrata & Prosciutto with tomatoes as a flavor combination. The creamy burrata cheese pairs perfectly with the salty prosciutto and fresh sweet tomatoes, to produce a simple salad that also works well on any antipasto platter.
Ingredients
- 2 large Tomatoes - lovely and ripe
- 8 slices Prosciutto
- 8 oz Burrata Cheese - drained if needed
- Fresh Basil Leaves
- 1-2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil - best quality possible
- Sea Salt and Pepper - to taste
- Balsamic Glaze - optional - see notes
Instructions
- Slice the tomatoes horizontally into ¼-inch thick rounds. Arrange them in a single on a serving platter.
- Lay the slices of prosciutto over the tomatoes, folding them slightly for an attractive presentation.
- Tear fresh basil leaves into smaller pieces and scatter over the dish.
- Take the burrata ball and gently cut or tear it in half to expose the creamy center. Place the halved burrata pieces on top of the tomato and prosciutto slices.
- Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and season with sea salt and pepper to taste.
- Also drizzle with balsamic glaze if using.
Notes
Serving sizes - Serves 4 as an appetizer, 2 as an entrée with a green salad and 6-8 as a side dish.
Balsamic glaze - You can make your own balsamic glaze by reducing balsamic vinegar in a saucepan over low heat until thickened. Otherwise you can use a store-bought alternative.
