Ahhh ... burrata.It’s the king of rich and creamy

cheese. If you’ve never tried bur-rata, think of it like fresh mozza-rella’s smoother cousin. It’s freshmozzarella stuffed with mozzarellacurds and cream. But burrata’sexterior is softer than fresh mozza-rella. You’ve got to love that.

True burrata is worth the cost.You can find burrata at specialty

cheese shops, but there’s always

BelGioioso, a domestic brand ofburrata found at most grocerystores and some specialty cheeseshops. An 8-ounce container hastwo 4-ounce balls of burrata andcosts about $5.15.

Highly perishable, burratashould be used within several daysof opening. Zingerman’s says itsburrata has a five-day shelf life.

Since you forked over goodmoney for burrata, it should bethe highlight of whatever dish youare making. Don’t let other flavorsoverpower it. Balance is key.

An example of a great dish thatfeatures burrata is caprese salad.The summertime dish consists offresh mozzarella or burrata, slicedtomatoes and fresh basil leaves.It’s drizzled with olive oil andsprinkled with salt and pepper.

Burrata also works well withpasta, paired with grilled vegeta-bles or atop crostini (little toasts).

One of my favorite uses, though,is topping pizza with it. Today’srecipe pairs sweet burrata andcaramelized onions with pieces ofsalty prosciutto and basil.

Pizza with Burrata Cheese, Caramelized Onions and Prosciutto

WHAT’S FOR DINNER?

Makes: 2 pizzas(about 8 wedgeseach)1 pound pizzadough, follow risinginstructions4 tablespoons oliveoil, divided4 to 5 cups slicedonions3 cloves roastedgarlic, sliced4 to 6 thin slicesprosciutto, torn intopieces or in strips8 ounces or morefresh burrata cheeseBalsamic glaze,optionalExtra flour for dustingyour work surface

Once the dough has come to room temperature, di-vide it in two. Shape each half into a ball and let themrise until almost double in size.

Meanwhile, in a large skillet heat 2 tablespoons ofoil over medium heat. Add the onion slices and cookuntil they are golden brown and caramelized. Theonions will reduce to more than half of the originalvolume.

When ready to prepare everything, preheat theoven to 500 F. If using, place a pizza stone in the ovenwhile the oven preheats for at least 30 minutes.

Once the dough has doubled, roll each ball out to a8- to 10-inch shape. It doesn’t have to be perfect.

Let the dough relax for a few minutes and reshapeagain if necessary.

Transfer the pizza dough to a pizza peel dusted withcornmeal or flour if you have one. If you don’t have apeel, use a large upside down baking sheet. This helps

transfer the unbaked and baked pizza to the stone.Drizzle 1 tablespoon of the olive oil onto the dough

and spread it all over the surface. Scatter half of thecaramelized onions and roasted garlic on top. Top withthe prosciutto pieces.

Take the burrata and break it up into small pieces.Drop pieces randomly over the prosciutto and otheringredients, but don’t overcrowd the pizza.

Carefully transfer the prepared pizza to the stoneand place in the oven. Prepare the other pizza whilethe first one bakes.

Bake pizzas for about 7-10 minutes or until thecheese melts some and bubbles and the prosciutto isslightly crispy. Remove from oven using the pizza peeland cool a few minutes. Place the other pizza in theoven.

Drizzle the pizza with some balsamic glaze and sliceinto wedges. Serve immediately.
