Units
Scale
- 1 ball fresh burrata cheese (4 oz)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder (optional)
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Sea salt, to finish
Instructions
- Gently pat the burrata dry with paper towels and freeze for 30 minutes to firm up.
- Set up a breading station with flour in one bowl, beaten egg in another, and panko mixed with garlic powder in a third.
- Coat the burrata in flour, then dip in the egg, and coat with the panko mixture. For extra crunch, dip again in egg and panko.
- Heat 1½ inches of vegetable oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully place the burrata into the hot oil and fry for 2–3 minutes, turning until golden brown.
- Remove and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with sea salt.
- Serve immediately, allowing the creamy center to ooze when cut open.
Notes
- Freezing the burrata helps it stay intact during frying.
- Double coating ensures an extra crispy crust.
- Serve with crusty bread or a side salad for a complete appetizer.
