Ingredients:

  • 8 oz fresh Black Mission or Brown Turkey figs, quartered
  • 8 oz fresh Burrata cheese, 1 large ball
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, torn
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup balsamic glaze
  • 1 tsp flaky sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp freshly cracked black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Wash the figs gently and pat them dry, then slice each fig into quarters lengthwise.
  2. Place the room-temperature Burrata ball in the center of a platter and gently break the top skin with a small spoon or knife to expose the creamy stracciatella interior.
  3. Arrange the fig quarters in a radial pattern around the cheese, nesting them closely.
  4. Scatter the hand-torn basil leaves organically across the plate.
  5. Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil evenly over the figs and cheese.
  6. Swirl the balsamic glaze in a zig-zag motion across the entire dish and finish with a generous sprinkle of flaky sea salt and cracked black pepper.
