– 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 tablespoon honey (or to taste)
– 1 ball of burrata cheese
– Salt, to taste
– Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
– Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
– Balsamic glaze (optional)
Follow these simple steps to create your burrata with roasted strawberries:
1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Strawberries: In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced strawberries with olive oil and honey. Toss until the strawberries are evenly coated.
3. Roast the Strawberries: Spread the strawberries onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast them in the preheated oven for approximately 10-15 minutes or until they become soft and their juices start to caramelize.
4. Season the Burrata: While the strawberries roast, take the burrata and place it on a serving platter. Sprinkle with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
5. Add Roasted Strawberries: Once the strawberries are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Spoon the roasted strawberries over the burrata, allowing their juice to drizzle over the cheese.
6. Garnish: Finish the dish by adding fresh basil leaves on top. If desired, drizzle balsamic glaze on and around the burrata for an extra layer of flavor.
7. Serve and Enjoy: Slice the burrata and serve it immediately. Enjoy this delightful combination warm, accompanied by toasted bread or crackers.
