Preparation
- Start by gently cutting a small slit at the top of the burrata. Scoop out the creamy stracciatella center and place it into a bowl.

- Spoon the whipped mixture back into the hollowed burrata. Press the opening closed carefully.
Coating and Chilling
- Roll the filled burrata in flour, dip it into the beaten egg, then roll it in the panko breadcrumbs and chopped pistachios.
- Chill the breaded burrata in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes.
Cooking
- Heat neutral oil to 170°C (340°F). Gently place the burrata in the oil and fry for 1–2 minutes until golden brown.
- Optionally, air-fry at 200°C (390°F) for 5–6 minutes, turning once for even cooking.
Serving
- Serve immediately, slicing it open at the table for a dramatic reveal of the creamy interior.
Notes
Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying, chill the burrata, and use fresh herbs for the best flavor.
