Notes
- Opt for sourdough or rustic bread for a more robust and flavorful base that complements the creamy burrata and sweet blueberry jam.
- Select ripe, plump blueberries when making homemade jam to ensure maximum natural sweetness and intense fruit flavor.
- Slightly warm the burrata at room temperature before serving to enhance its creamy, melt-in-your-mouth texture and bring out its delicate flavor profile.
- For a gluten-free version, swap traditional bread with gluten-free alternatives like almond flour or rice bread without compromising the delicious combination of ingredients.
