Burrata Cheese

Hi
Have any of you made or tasted this cheese? Going to be serving this at DIL Birthday Party. Sounds very interesting a mozzella and inside has heavy cream with cheese bits. Marye
Everything will be all right in the end. So if it is not right, then it's not yet the end.
Hi, I just got some at TJs and made the salad posted below with our first crop of tomatoes this year. It was really good. A very nice change from a plain caprese. I also had some tonight with very thinly sliced serrano ham. I just flattened the burrata over the slice of ham and rolled it. It was delicious.
EXPORTED FROM LIVING COOKBOOK TOMATOES AND BURRATA WITH TAPENADE***** Burrata (a fresh Italian cheese similar to mozzarella but with a creamy center) is a luscious addition to this updated Caprese salad.

Burrata 3 medium ripe beefsteak tomatoes Kosher salt freshly ground black pepper 6 large basil leaves 4 tsps. Tapenade 1 TBS. extra-virgin olive oil Cut Burrata into ½" thick slices.

Perfect timing!!! this is the 3rd Wednesday and we're off to Everett and will be stopping at Trader Joe's for our monthly supply of sparkling and sake - Burrata is added to the list!! Thanks Marye and CG.
How are you doing, Marye? Back to normal with the leg? Hope so.

No, but I put it on the list for when I go to TJ's. Thanks!

Well, hell - our Trader Joe's will order it for me, but they can't stock it, doesn't sell and so fragile. But, that wouldn't do me any good seeing as how we're only there once a month. But, will try a T.J.s in another town that is closer, so maybe.
 I was all set to come home today and make some ciabatta and have fun with it.

Somewhere I saw a method for making this at home. I'll have to investigate. That salad sounds wonderful!
You only live once . . . but if you do it right once should be enough!
I believe Whole Foods also has Cheese.
Sharon - I did a google search earlier and they have a site for making your own cheese - looked like a easy to do recipe. Bon Appetit.com has several recipes - like this one Burrata Cheese with Tomato Salsa and Olive Salsa Jean - Leg is lots better Marye

Had never heard about this until one of the programs on the El Gourmet channel mentioned it. At that time, I did some research and also found THIS and THIS about how to MAKE it at home.
I still haven't had it nor tried making it, but it DOES sound interesting.
If blueberry muffins have blueberries in them, what do vegan muffins have?
Marye I'm so glad the knee is better!
