Burrata Sandwich

More burrata recipes

There are so many great ways to use this Italian cheese! Some of our favorite burrata recipes are a peach burrata salad, a simple salad with ripe fruit, burrata pasta, a deliciously creamy dinner, and burrata pizza, an over-the-top pizza night sensation. This sandwich has got rich and creamy burrata cheese paired with a sweet ripe tomato, spicy pepperoncini, peppery arugula and basil. Slather the ciabatta bread with smoky sundried tomato aioli and add a drizzle of honey and wow. The contrast of flavors and textures makes us swoon on every bite! It’s the perfect summer dinner idea for meals al fresco with a glass of rosé. To say that I’m addicted is an understatement. It’s kind of embarrassing how many times I have made this. I love burrata on pretty much anything, but it is the best in this super easy and tasty sandwich. I absolutely love it!” -Annika

Burrata cheese: Burrata is an Italian fresh mozzarella cheese filled with cream and cheese shreds. Tear it into pieces when adding it to a sandwich. Ciabatta bread: You can use any type of artisan bread for this sandwich. Ciabatta works well, but you could also use no knead bread, sourdough bread, or focaccia bread. Smoky sun dried tomato aioli: This homemade sundried tomato aioli takes the sandwich to a next level, made with mayo, sundried tomatoes, and smoked paprika. Basil and arugula: Fresh basil and arugula add herbaceous, peppery notes. If you can’t find one or the other, you can omit. Sometimes we like dressing the arugula with a hint of olive oil and salt. Honey: Honey adds a sweet element that adds intrigue to the flavors. Ripe tomato: A ripe tomato is key for bringing this sandwich together. Pepperoncini: Jarred pepperoncini add a tangy, spicy element to this sandwich that we think is essential. As a substitute, try chopped olives or tapenade.

Aioli: Any type of aioli works well here. Try garlic aioli, basil aioli, or our favorite pesto aioli or truffle aioli. Mayonnaise: To simplify, use any type of high quality mayonnaise. Tapenade: The classic French olive tapenade spread of chopped olives also adds great flavor. Olive salad: This olive salad recipe is traditionally used on a muffaletta sandwich, but it works well here.

You can store leftover bread, aioli, and vegetables separately in containers in the refrigerator, but make sure to eat any leftover burrata cheese within 1 day.
