Burrata?

[Twix42]

What is this? And what do I do with it?
Apparently its some kind of soft cheese.
I have no clue
Crackers?
It is from Waitrose no less. DH brought it home and expects me to conjure up some dinner with it.
Im mystified.. please send help...
😁

I don't particularly like it but DD1 loves it. Chop it up and add it to a tomato based pasta sauce?

Yum

It is like mozzarella but a bit tastier and sloppier and runnier in the middle.

It is often served as a starter with some perfect toms, maybe some light pesto, sometimes something like roasted peach segments.

Make a tomato sauce with lots of garlic, let it melt slightly in it and eat it with bread. Yum.

Caprese salad...if you have the ingredients.

It is a soft creamy mozzarella. Use it as you might mozzarella , tasty in salad with roasted veg/tomato/olives or on top of pasta.

Scoff it with some crusty bread. Love it!

It is food of the gods. I think it's mozzarella but the centre is strips of mozzarella mixed with cream... So you get this delicious soft creamy mozarellery mess of goodness. I agree with crusty bread and maybe some tomatoes, with really good extra virgin olive oil....I am so jealous

Yum it's delicious just with good tomatoes, basil, salt, olive oil and bread - maybe some nice olives too

Do not melt it- that would be sacrilege! On top of the tomato salad, gently break open with fork & spoon, allow to ooze, drizzle with pesto of tapenade & eats with warm bread. So delicious...

I like a big plate of warm griddled courgettes, burrata on top, olive oil, salt and fresh mint torn all over. Eat with focaccia or crusty bread.

Also you can do roasted beetroot, sliced while still warm, burrata on top, basil dressing or pesto let down with a bit of olive oil, toasted pine nuts. Mmmm.

First you should bow down and worship it.

Then eat it with tomatoes, bread, olive oil and maybe some pepper.

I want burrata now.

Oh my.
Just eat it now.
Then buy more for the recipe or whatever.

Warm french bread, aged rich balsamic vinegar, warmed figs, truffle olive oil, preferred seasonings.

What did you do with it OP and did you enjoy?

For those now wanting it, I spotted it in Waitrose this morning in their relaunched One range so it also has 20% off at the mo.

It's a bloody cheese

Gratuitous burrata appreciation right here, OP:

It’s great in a salad with Rocket, fresh figs and balsamic/ olive oil. You could add prosciutto if you eat meat too. Delicious 😋

Burrata is made with cream so much richer (and more delicious than mozzarella imho). I often eat simply with some prosciutto and sliced peaches/nectarine/figs and some rocket - most of these are out of season now :( Alternative would beetroot and rocket salad or something like roasted asparagus and gremolata

Don't fucking waste it on a sauce! Bloody hell.

Griddle/toast bread with olive oil. Top with pesto. Fresh tomato. Burrata.

To be fair, I’d be quite annoyed if I was presented with an ingredient I didn’t know much about and expected to produce a dinner based on it.

I would like burrata in a tomato and avocado salad with salt and pepper.

I just find it tasteless. Like a blob of cream with a skin on.

It only serves 1, with nice bread and tomatoes, so what is he having?

Let it come to room temperature before you eat it, the better to appreciate its heavenly deliciousness.

Thanks for all the suggestions... we wnded up sharing it as a kind of starter with some sourdough bread, olive oil, sun dried tomatoes, pesto and olives . And lots of wine :) was yummy Would eat it again...
