RECIPE COURTESY OF EMILY WEINBERGER FOR FOOD NETWORK KITCHEN
From the surface burrata could appear to be a ball of plain mozzarella cheese, however slice into it and also you’ll discover a heart stuffed with scrumptious velvety cream. We heated it on the grill together with cherry tomatoes to make a splendidly gooey, creamy pasta sauce that’s full of Italian taste. Rooster breast is straightforward to grill up alongside and toss in, and a topping of crunchy breadcrumbs, lemony arugula and one other ball of recent burrata (oh sure!) make it picture-perfect.
