Any other truffle lovers out there?? I could drizzle truffle oil on basically anything, but one of my favorites is the combination of truffles with burrata cheese. The combination of soft, creamy burrata, with the earthy flavor of truffles is unbeatable. Top it off with a good olive oil, some flaky sea salt, and freshly-ground pepper, and you´ll have a rich, flavorful starter using just a few ingredients.
You can even make your truffle burrata a little more sophisticated by combining it with a portobello and endive salad. The bitterness and crispiness of the endives fit perfectly with the creamy cheese. This is a very simple and quick, yet posh recipe to serve as a starter.
