Notes

  • Choose Ripe and Flavorful Tomatoes: Opt for the ripest and most flavorful cherry tomatoes you can find. Look for tomatoes that are firm, plump, and have a deep color.
  • Use Freshly Made Basil Pesto: While you can use store-bought basil pesto, making your own fresh basil pesto at home can take the flavor of your Burrata Caprese to the next level.
