What fruit goes well with burrata?

A number of fruits pair well with burrata including peaches, nectarines, tomatoes, figs, cherries, apricots and persimmons.

Can you eat the skin of burrata?

The skin of burrata cheese is entirely edible and very delicious. It's similar in texture and flavor to fresh mozzarella on the outside.

My Caprese-inspired Peach and Burrata Salad has juicy, macerated peaches, creamy burrata cheese and a flavorful basil oil.

Scale

Take out cheese: Remove burrata from fridge and sit out at room temperature. Leave in container with water until ready to eat.
Macerate peaches: Add peach wedges to a bowl and season with salt. Add sugar and lemon juice to taste, starting with 1/2 to 1 teaspoon each, depending on the sweetness and tartness of your fruit. My peaches were not very sweet when testing this recipe.
Make basil oil: Add basil with a pinch of salt to a food processer. Pulse to chop. Stream in olive oil while blending until basil is finely chopped and incorporated in the oil. Strain through a fine mesh sieve.
Serve: Place burrata and macerated peaches on a plate. Drizzle over basil oil and garnish with basil leaves. Serve with bread. Enjoy.

Depending on the sweetness and acidity of your peaches, adjust the amount of sugar and lemon, to taste. If you have really ripe, juicy peaches, you can even skip macerating them all together!
To make this recipe extra simple, skip making the basil oil. Just drizzle over some good extra virgin olive oil and tear over fresh basil leaves or arugula.
