Ingredients
- Thinly sliced prosciutto (about 4-6 oz)
- Fresh burrata cheese (2-3 small balls)
- Mixed kalamata and Castelvetrano olives (1 cup)
- Marinated artichoke hearts, quartered (1 cup)
- Roasted red peppers, thinly sliced (1/2 cup)
- Fresh seasonal fruit such as ripe figs, melon slices, or grapes (1 cup, optional)
- Cherry tomatoes, halved (1 cup)
- Crusty bread slices or grissini sticks (1 baguette or 1 package breadsticks)
- Extra virgin olive oil (about 2 tablespoons)
- Fresh basil leaves (a handful, torn or whole)
- Flaky sea salt (to taste)
- Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Rinse cherry tomatoes and fresh basil leaves. Slice tomatoes in half and tear basil leaves into bite-sized pieces. Slice fresh fruit like figs or melon into wedges or bite-sized pieces if using.
- Gently place whole balls of burrata in the center of your serving platter. Drizzle each ball with about 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle lightly with flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Let sit while preparing the rest.
- Fan out the prosciutto slices around the burrata, folding loosely if slices are large to create an airy presentation.
- Distribute marinated artichoke hearts and roasted red peppers evenly around the board, using small bowls or piles to keep flavors distinct.
- Place olives in small bowls or piles; scatter halved cherry tomatoes near the burrata for color and freshness.
- Add seasonal fruit wedges or grapes around the edges of the board for a sweet contrast, if using.
- Arrange slices of crusty bread or grissini sticks on one side of the platter for easy grabbing.
- Sprinkle torn basil leaves over the entire platter and optionally drizzle extra olive oil over tomatoes and fruit to bring everything together.
Notes
Let burrata and prosciutto come to room temperature before serving for best flavor. Handle burrata gently to avoid breaking. Keep wet ingredients separate from bread until serving to prevent sogginess. Use a serrated knife for slicing bread to avoid squashing. Customize with seasonal fruits or substitute ingredients as desired.
