Notes

  • The nutrition facts and calories calculation provided in the recipe card are an estimate. 
  • If you have celiac disease or are on a gluten-free diet, always be sure to double check ingredients and manufacturing practices to ensure your products are gluten-free. 
  • Only make as much burrata caprese as you plan on serving immediately, as the burrata does not keep well once it’s out of the brine or sliced open. You can scale the recipe down or up as needed.
