If you aren’t in the mood for burrata, I’ll insist you still make this with a creamy goat cheese instead.

That balsamic glaze is absolutely divine over a few other combinations as well. Like tomatoes, cucumbers and feta, think chilled juicy watermelon, arugula (rocket), baby spinach and even grilled chicken.

Just keep a close eye on the glaze simmering away, as it is easy to reduce it too much If you walk away from it. In case that happens and you need to thin it out a little, simply whisk in a little lemon or pomegranate juice or even splash of red wine.

If you happen to have any glaze leftover just store in the pantry in a small jar with a lid. Drizzle it over burrata bruschetta, peppercorn steak, roasted figs, pizza, salmon, roasted carrots, beets or pan seared scallops.

Today it’s all about BURRATA + STRAWBERRIES + BALSAMIC GLAZE!
