Ingredients
  

For the Crispy Fried Burrata
  • 1 large burrata cheese The star of the show!
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs Panko works great for extra crunch.
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour For coating the burrata.
  • 2 large eggs Beaten for coating.
  • to taste salt and pepper For seasoning.
  • as needed oil for frying Vegetable or canola works perfectly.
For the Balsamic Marinated Tomatoes
  • 2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes Heirloom for a pop of color is also great.
  • ½ cup balsamic vinegar For marinating the tomatoes.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil For marinating the tomatoes.
  • a pinch salt and pepper For flavoring.
  • to garnish fresh basil leaves For that extra touch of green.

Method
 

Marinate the Tomatoes
  1. Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and toss them into a mixing bowl with balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Add a pinch of salt and pepper, then gently toss, cover, and let marinate while preparing the burrata.
Coat the Burrata
  1. Season the flour with salt and pepper. Dip the burrata into the seasoned flour, shaking off excess, then into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with breadcrumbs, pressing them onto the cheese to form a thick crust.
Frying Time
  1. Heat about an inch of oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the coated burrata into the hot oil and fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve the Delight
  1. Place the crispy fried burrata on a serving platter, spoon the balsamic-marinated tomatoes around it, and garnish with fresh basil. Serve immediately.

Notes

To ensure the best texture, refrigerate the burrata before frying. Allow the tomatoes to marinate for at least an hour for optimal flavor. Avoid frying too many burratas at once to maintain oil temperature.
