Black Truffle Burrata with Roasted Cherry Tomatoes
Burrata is next level decadence. From Pulgia, burrata is a large fresh mozzarella cheese ball filled with its byproduct, stracciatella, and cream. It’s like a mozzarella cheese ball filled with cottage cheese made of mozzarella. The two that I purchased are also stuffed with black truffles. They’re great as an appetizer like the one in this recipe, or with countless types of pasta.
