Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 1 ball of fresh burrata cheese (about 8 oz)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh chives, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh tarragon, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- Toasted bread or crackers for serving
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Place the burrata ball on a serving plate and let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to slightly soften.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter until it begins to foam, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic to the butter and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Stir in the chopped basil, parsley, chives, tarragon, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the herbs are wilted and the mixture is aromatic.
- Immediately pour the sizzling green goddess butter over the burrata, allowing it to pool around the cheese.
- Serve right away with toasted bread or crackers for dipping.
