Stracciatella Cheese Recipe ❤️ Super easy and so good!
Stracciatella is the filling of #burrata and it is basically pulled mozzarella curds soaked in cream, so this lil shortcut works if you don’t want to make mozzarella from scratch or can’t find mozzarella curds like me ❤️.

How To Prepare Stracciatella Cheese Recipe
🧀 Shred the mozzarella into super thin strands, add to a bowl with the heavy cream and a pinch of salt. Then, let sit in the fridge for 4 hours minimum. I did overnight.
🧄 Add the olive oil to a pan and preheat 2 minutes on medium. Lower to medium low and add garlic. Crisp up until lightly golden so they don’t burn. Remove garlic from oil.
🌶 Add the Calabrian chiles, herbs, sugar, almonds and Tamari to a bowl. Then, add in the sizzling oil.
🔪 Chop the garlic and add in to the calabrian chiles
🌿 Spread stracciatella to a bowl, top with chili crisp, shaved fennel and then some of the greens. Also add flaky salt, basil leaves and black pepper.
