Equipment

  • 1 Small Saucepan
  • 1 Whisk
  • 1 Serving Bowl or Dish Shallow for best presentation
  • 1 Measuring Spoons
  • 1 Small Spatula For drizzling/serving

Ingredients
  

Main

  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 container 16 ounce burrata, drained
  • 1 teaspoon flaky salt
  • 1/4 cup lemon marmalade
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves torn
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Crostini for serving

Instructions
 

  • In a small saucepan, combine the honey, red pepper flakes, and apple cider vinegar.
  • Gently simmer the honey mixture over medium-low heat for 3-5 minutes, whisking occasionally, until slightly thickened. Do not bring to a rolling boil.
  • While the honey simmers, carefully drain the burrata from its liquid and gently place it in the center of a shallow serving bowl or dish.
  • Drizzle the burrata with the olive oil and season generously with flaky salt and black pepper.
  • Once the hot honey mixture is ready, carefully pour it evenly over and around the burrata.
  • Spoon dollops of lemon marmalade around the burrata.
  • Garnish generously with torn fresh mint leaves.
  • Serve immediately with crostini or your favorite crusty bread for dipping.

Notes

For optimal creaminess, allow the burrata to come to room temperature before serving. The contrast of the cool, creamy cheese with the warm, spicy honey is delightful. When making the hot honey, gently simmer the mixture; avoid a rolling boil to prevent crystallization and preserve honey's delicate flavor. Adjust the red pepper flakes to your desired spice level. The flaky salt is crucial for textural contrast, so don't substitute. Lemon marmalade adds a bright, zesty counterpoint to the richness of the burrata and the sweetness of the honey. Fresh mint provides an aromatic lift and beautiful color. Serve immediately with crusty bread or crostini to enjoy the textures while the honey is still warm.
