Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Begin by selecting a beautiful platter to showcase your Burrata Balls. Space the burrata balls evenly across the platter, ensuring they’re visually appealing. Aim for a central arrangement, as this will be the centerpiece of your appetizer.
  2. Generously sprinkle luscious pomegranate seeds over the burrata balls. Next, chop your pistachios coarsely, or simply use whole ones, and spread them evenly around the balls.
  3. Using a spoon, carefully drizzle a luscious balsamic glaze over each burrata ball, followed by a light drizzle of high-quality extra virgin olive oil.
  4. Adorn the burrata balls with fresh mint leaves for a hint of aromatic freshness. Sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt over the entire platter.
