Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large ball burrata cheese
- ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- ½ cup marinated artichoke hearts, chopped
- ¼ cup Kalamata olives, pitted
- ¼ cup roasted red peppers, sliced
- ¼ cup hummus or baba ganoush
- 2 tbsp pesto or olive tapenade
- Fresh basil leaves
- Olive oil, for drizzling
- Flaky sea salt, to taste
- Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
- Warm naan or pita bread, cut into wedges

Instructions
- Start by placing the burrata cheese ball at the center of your serving board. This acts as the focal point of your presentation, drawing the eye and whetting the appetite with its creamy allure.
- Surround the burrata with clusters of halved cherry tomatoes, chopped marinated artichoke hearts, pitted Kalamata olives, and sliced roasted red peppers. These ingredients should each have their own section on the board to create a structured yet colorful spread.
- Beneath or between the vegetable clusters, place small bowls filled with hummus or baba ganoush and a helping of pesto or olive tapenade. This adds layers of flavor and color, enhancing the overall appeal.
- Gently tuck fresh basil leaves among the ingredients, providing a fresh and aromatic touch. Optionally, add cucumber slices, grapes, or toasted nuts for extra variety. Drizzle a light layer of olive oil over the burrata and sprinkle with flaky sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
- Arrange the warm naan or pita wedges around the board, inviting guests to dip and enjoy. Ensure that the bread is easily accessible from all sides for grab-and-go ease.
Notes
Use the freshest ingredients for optimal flavor. The vibrancy of the produce greatly affects the dish’s appeal. Burrata is best served at room temperature to fully enjoy its creamy texture.
