Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

burrata cheese
  • 2 balls burrata cheese
fresh strawberries
  • 1 lb fresh strawberries Halved
balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
honey
  • 1 tbsp honey
fresh basil leaves
  • 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves Tear by hand
fleur de sel
  • 1 fleur de sel Pinch
cracked black pepper
  • 1 cracked black pepper Pinch

Method
 

Plate the strawberries and burrata
  1. Arrange halved fresh strawberries on serving plates in an even layer so the red surface faces up.
  2. Gently place a ball of burrata cheese in the center of each plate, keeping the delicate center intact for a creamy pull.
Drizzle and finish
  1. Whisk balsamic vinegar and honey together until smooth, then drizzle around the cheese and over the strawberries.
  2. Tear fresh basil leaves and scatter them over the dessert for a fresh green contrast.
  3. Finish with a pinch of fleur de sel and cracked black pepper to bring out the fruit’s sweetness and the cheese’s richness.
  4. Serve immediately at room temperature so the burrata stays creamy and the strawberries remain fresh.

Notes

Pro tip: keep burrata refrigerated until the last minute, then plate and serve right away for the best creamy center. Store leftovers in the fridge up to 1 day, but note the burrata will firm as it sits; freezing is not recommended. If you want a dairy-light option, swap burrata for a cashew-based “burrata” or vegan cream cheese and use the same balsamic-honey drizzle.
