30 Delicious Burrata Recipes

My love for burrata runs deep! So obviously, I had to round up 30 of my favorite burrata recipes.

What is Burrata?

If you've never had burrata before, let me introduce you to your new cheese obsession. Similarly to mozzarella, burrata is an Italian cheese made from cow's milk. The outer layer of the ball is mozzarella, and the inside is filled with delicious soft cream.

How to Serve Burrata?

Burrata is great on everything from salads to pizza to pasta or even straight up with some crostini. It also works well with sweet dishes like Cherry and Peach Panzanella and savory ones like this Tomato Basil Gnocchi. Keep reading for 30 of my favorite ways to serve burrata.

Penne with Five (or Six) Cheeses - This Penne with Five Cheese situation is 1000% going to change your life. It's loaded with mozzarella, Pecorino Romano, fontina, goat cheese, AND ricotta cheese. There's an optional 6th cheese because have you met me? It happens to be none other than our favorite… BURRATA!! 

PIZZA:

Three Cheese Pizza - It’s loaded with mozzarella, goat cheese and burrata. It’s the trifecta of cheeses on a pizza plus 2 kinds of pizza sauce. BRING IT ON.

Pizza Pie - If there's ever any doubt about anything in life, pizza is generally the answer. Especially when it's piled high with burrata cheese and fried basil, I mean, come on!!

Charred Tomato Pesto Pizza - The key to any burrata pizza is adding the cheese at the last minute. You bake the crust until it’s golden and crisp. Then slather it with my addictive basil vinaigrette and THEN, and only then, do you add the burrata. That way the residual heat from the pizza crust just barely warms the cheese! You’re welcome. Consider your burrata game forever changed for the better.

Two – there's some melted fresh mozzarella and taleggio cheese. And Three – it's topped with farmers market veggies, including asparagus and snap peas, and then BURRATA!

Crispy Prosciutto, Plum and Burrata Flatbread - The combination of crispy prosciutto, perfectly ripe plums, and creamy burrata on top of a flatbread is truly incredible! The only thing I can think that would make this combo even better is if it took less than 10 minutes to prep and cook – and guess what – that's exactly what's happening here!

BLT Flatbread - Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato, and BURRATA all piled up on a pizza/flatbread situation – it's my idea of perfection! 

Green Pizza - This green pizza has everything from asparagus to garlic scapes to english peas! Then 3 kinds of cheese – fontina, mozzarella and burrata! And it’s finished off with a variety of herbs that make this pizza truly sing!
