Notes
Expert Tips:
- Prioritize using fresh tomatoes, small basil leaves, and quality burrata cheese for the best results.
- Fragrant basil is a necessary ingredient for Caprese, so keep the leaves whole or tear them slightly if the leaves are extra large for maximum flavor. They will look beautiful and taste and smell delicious.
- Remove the burrata from the fridge 30 minutes before serving the appetizer to let it come to room temperature.
