Main Ingredients
- 2 large burrata balls
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- as needed cup vegetable oil for frying
- to taste salt and pepper
Spicy Sauce
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 clove garlic, minced
Garnish
- fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare Burrata: Gently pat the burrata balls dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
- Set Up Breading Stations: In three separate bowls, place the flour seasoned with salt and pepper in the first bowl, beaten eggs in the second, and panko breadcrumbs in the third.
- Bread Burrata: Take one burrata ball and coat it lightly in the flour, shaking off the excess. Then dip it into the beaten eggs, ensuring it’s fully coated. Finally, roll it in the panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere. Repeat with the second burrata ball.
- Heat Oil: In a large frying pan, heat about 1-2 inches of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- Fry Burrata: Carefully place the breaded burrata balls into the hot oil, frying them for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove them with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- Make Spicy Sauce: In a small mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, Sriracha, honey, lime juice, and minced garlic. Stir until well blended.
- Serve: Place the fried burrata on a serving platter. Drizzle the spicy sauce over the top or serve it on the side for dipping. Garnish with chopped cilantro.
Notes
- Make sure to pat the burrata dry to prevent excess moisture which can interfere with the breading process.
- Maintain the oil temperature at 350°F for perfect frying without sogginess.
- Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
