Crispy Golden Truffle Burrata With Truffle Bruschetta

Crispy Golden Truffle Burrata With Truffle Bruschetta

Burrata is decadent enough but frying it till golden and putting it on top of truffle flavoured bruschetta tomatoes is another level of decadence altogether.  This was insanely good… that moment when you cut through the crispness and see that ooooozzze… YESSSSS!!

I was excited to try this truffle burrata and wanted to do something extra special with it… burrata, in my opinion, goes best simply on top of all those bruschetta flavours of beautiful tomatoes, basil, garlic, and shallots, and yes, I did truffle it up for the luxury factor, but it would be just as delicious.  Avocados are always favourable, so I added these in the mix with seasonings of simply white truffle oil and truffle balsamic glaze.

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix all the bruschetta ingredients except the avocado, salt, and watermelon radish, set aside for 20 minutes to marinate
  2. After 20 minutes, strain the tomatoes through a fine-mesh sieve, discard marinade liquid, mix in avocado and salt to taste, and set aside.
  3. Fill a small saucepan halfway full of oil and let the temperature come to about 180°C before frying.
  4. In a bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs, regular breadcrumbs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, set aside.
  5. In another bowl, add the flour and season with a little salt and pepper, set aside.
  6. In the third bowl, whisk together the egg and water, set aside
  7. Remove the burrata from packaging and dry well
  8. Cover the burrata with the flour mixture first, shake to remove excess, dip in the egg, and then in the breadcrumb mixture
  9. The second time around, dip the burrata in the egg first, then the breadcrumb mixture once more.
  10. Finally, dip the burrata for a third time in the egg and the breadcrumb mixture.
  11. Using a slotted spoon, carefully lower the cheese into the oil
  12. Fry until golden and crisp all over, turning in the oil to make sure all sides are evenly cooked, about 2-3 minutes.  Be careful not to overcook, as the middle should stay oooozy
  13. Remove and drain on kitchen paper
  14. On your serving dish, arrange watermelon radish slices overlapping each other in a pretty pattern.
  15. Grease a large cooking rind mould with a little olive oil
  16. Place the ring over the top of the radishes and spoon the tomato mixture inside, pressing down slightly 
  17. Carefully place the fried burrata on top of the tomatoes.
