Here is the link to a wonderful homemade burrata recipe. Burrata is a twist on fresh mozzarella: the curd is mixed with heavy cream and then folded into the mozzarella which has been heated and pulled. The result is an extraordinarily creamy and soft interior contrasted with the mild soft cheese exterior. I called around and couldn't find a store that carried it, so we made our own! Lexi and I do a supper club dinner every few months with my sister and her boyfriend, and we will be making burrata for the upcoming Italian night. I can't wait! This cheese, topped with olive oil and herbs, set atop a hunk of crusty baguette that has been toasted and rubbed down with fresh garlic? In the words of Jim Carrey, "Somebody stop me!" See if you can make this cheese at home. The video tutorial is easy to follow and makes this recipe very user-friendly. If this is too daunting, try just making the fresh mozzarella. You will NOT be disappointed! Check out the photos we took. One is the plain burrata, with olive oil and pepper, and the other one is a shot where we added basil and balsamic. Simply magnificent. If I didn't already have a pillow, I'd put this under my head and go to sleep. Just sayin'. Enjoy!
