Instructions

1. Add the olive oil and garlic to a small pan over low heat.

2. Warm the oil for 2 to 3 minutes until the garlic smells fragrant but does not brown.

3. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in parsley, basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.

4. Place the burrata on a serving plate.

5. Pour the warm garlic olive oil over the burrata.

6. Serve with toasted bread on the side.

Notes

Keep the heat low so the garlic stays sweet and does not turn bitter.

Let the burrata rest at room temperature before serving.

A drizzle of balsamic glaze is optional if you want a sweet contrast.
