Homemade burrata
Ingredients
- • 1 ball fresh mozzarella (about 125 g)
- • ½ cup (120 ml) thickened cream (or heavy cream)
- • ½ tsp salt (to taste, start small—you can always add more)
- • Optional: a drizzle of olive oil for richness
Directions
1. Prepare the filling:
- • Chop or shred half of the mozzarella ball into small pieces.
- • In a small bowl, mix the chopped mozzarella with the thickened cream and a pinch of salt until it’s creamy and slightly stringy. (You want a texture like the creamy interior of burrata—add more cream if it looks too thick).
2. Form the burrata shell:
- • Take the other half of the mozzarella ball and gently flatten/stretch it with your hands (sometimes microwaving it for 10–15 seconds helps make it pliable).
- • Place the cream–mozzarella mixture in the center.
3. Seal it up:
- • Gather the edges of the mozzarella around the filling, almost like making a pouch. Pinch or twist gently to close.
4. Serve immediately:
- • Place on a plate, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with flaky salt, and serve with crusty bread, tomatoes, or prosciutto
