Helpful Tips

Use fresh burrata: Burrata is best when it’s ultra-fresh, so check the expiration date and use it within a few days of purchase.
Toast the pistachios: A quick toast enhances their flavor and adds an extra layer of crunch.
Serve at room temperature: Let the burrata sit out for 15–20 minutes before assembling to ensure it’s creamy and flavorful.
