Ingredients

For the Filling

  • 1 large large burrata ball (approx. 120–150 g) Oozing with creamy stracciatella.
  • 60 g soft goat cheese Rich and tangy for depth.
  • 1 tbsp crème fraîche or Greek yogurt Choose based on preference.
  • 1 tsp chopped chives Adds mild onion flavor.
  • 1 tsp chopped parsley Enhances with herby undertones.
  • 1 tsp lemon zest Invigorates the cheese.
  • Salt & pepper to taste Essential seasoning.

For the Coating

  • 30 g panko breadcrumbs Light and crispy.
  • 30 g finely chopped pistachios Adds nutty flavor.
  • 1 egg beaten Acts as a binding agent.
  • 2 tbsp flour Creates a golden crust.
  • Neutral oil, for frying Use canola or vegetable oil.

Instructions

Preparation

  • Gently cut a small slit at the top of the burrata and scoop out the creamy stracciatella center using a small spoon. Place the creamy goodness in a bowl.
  • In the bowl with the stracciatella, combine the soft goat cheese, crème fraîche, lemon zest, chopped chives, parsley, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Whip together until smooth and fluffy.
  • Carefully refill the hollowed burrata with your whipped mixture and press the opening closed.
  • Roll the stuffed burrata in flour, then dip it in the beaten egg, and coat it with the pistachio-panko mix. Chill in the fridge for 15 minutes.

Cooking

  • Heat the neutral oil in a small saucepan to 170°C (340°F) and gently lower the burrata into the oil and fry for 1–2 minutes until golden. Alternatively, air-fry at 200°C (390°F) for 5–6 minutes.
  • Serve immediately by slicing it open at the table to reveal the warm, gooey filling.

Notes

For best results, check the oil temperature before frying. Avoid overstuffing the burrata to prevent messy explosions during frying. This dish pairs well with fresh arugula salad and can be creatively served with toasted bread or thinly sliced cured meats.
