Ingredients

16 ounces burrata
2 teaspoons lemon zest
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 clove garlic finely minced
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
1 cup mini pepperoni cups
3 tablespoons honey
¾ teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese freshly grated
1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves
warm focaccia for serving

Instructions

Place the burrata in a shallow serving bowl. Whisk together the olive oil and garlic. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of garlic-infused olive oil, then sprinkle with lemon zest, a pinch of kosher salt, and a few cracks of black pepper. Set aside
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the mini pepperoni cups and cook, stirring occasionally, until they become crispy and curl at the edges, about 4 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low, then stir in the honey and crushed red pepper flakes. Mix until the pepperoni is evenly coated and caramelized, about 30 seconds.
Spoon the warm pepperoni mixture over the burrata. Sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan and oregano leaves. Serve immediately with warm focaccia for dipping.
