Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

strawberries
  • 1 lb fresh strawberries Halved
burrata cheese
  • 2 burrata cheese balls Use 1 ball per plate
balsamic glaze
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tbsp honey
garnish
  • 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves Tear before scattering
  • 1 fleur de sel Pinch
  • 1 cracked black pepper Pinch

Method
 

Plate the strawberries and burrata
  1. Arrange the halved fresh strawberries on 4 serving plates in an even layer. Gently place 1 burrata cheese ball in the center of each plate.
Make the balsamic-honey drizzle
  1. Whisk balsamic vinegar and honey together until combined. Drizzle the mixture around the cheese and over the strawberries so it clings lightly.
Finish and serve
  1. Tear the fresh basil leaves and scatter them over the dessert. Finish with a pinch of fleur de sel and cracked black pepper.
  2. Serve immediately at room temperature to keep the burrata delicate and creamy. Aim to plate and garnish right before serving.

Notes

Pro tip: keep everything cool until plating, then serve right away—burrata firms if it sits too long, and the glaze becomes less glossy. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator up to 1 day; freeze is not recommended because the cheese texture changes. For a lighter option, use low-fat burrata or replace honey with maple syrup and reduce by 1/2 teaspoon to keep sweetness balanced.
