Heirloom Tomato, Basil & Burrata Cheese Salad

From luisascatering 13 years ago

Mario Batali often says Parmigiano Reggiano is the “undisputed king of cheeses” well, burrata is the undisputed queen!

variety of 4 large heirloom tomatoes (about 2 1/2 pounds) shopping list
Fleur de sel or coarse kosher salt & Freshly ground black pepper shopping list
1/4 cup torn fresh basil leaves shopping list
1/4 cup high quality extra-virgin olive oil shopping list
1 large round burrata cheese shopping list
I small loaf fresh pugliese/ciabatta bread, thinly sliced, grilled or toasted shopping list
(I sometimes also add sliced avocado) shopping list

Cut tomatoes into slices and place in center of serving platter. Cut cheese into chunks and place on end of platter. Sprinkle everything with salt and pepper. Place sliced bread on each side of tomatoes. Drizzle everything except bread with olive oil and sprinkle with fresh basil leaves (torn if large).

I only learned about Burrata this past spring and unfortunately haven't had the pleasure of trying it out yet. Lovely recipe.

I only see burrata cheese in the recipe and have been searching the web for more of the same. This is super creamy mozzarella and I have always just eaten it by itself but this salad is molto bene. Chef Frank at Luca now makes his own. How exciting. I am going to try it. He has posted the recipe on the web.
Thank you for a delicious treat.
