Who else is planning their 4th menu at the last minute? The 4th is one of those holidays that everyone gets excited about but often waits until the last minute to start planning menus.

Or maybe that’s just me. Either way, I LOVE a last-minute, easy appetizer ahead of a holiday. And you all, I have the perfect burrata appetizer that will take you 5 minutes to throw together. It’s perfect.

I talk about my Nonnie a lot. She continues to bring me so much inspiration. It’s crazy how much I think about her almost every day. Nonnie was a pro at entertaining. She knew how to throw a party effortlessly, make everyone feel welcome, keep everyone well-fed, and ensure that each guest had a good time.

She was a true entertaining pro, and her specialty was creating a delicious menu that required little prep, planning, or time.

Some of her secrets? Keep the dishes simple, make sure the food isn’t fancy, and use a little help from the store. One of her go-to’s was a biscuit appetizer topped with butter and crumbled blue cheese; it sounds funky, but I promise you, it’s so good.

Burrata wasn’t as popular as it is today when she was entraining, but I know she’d love this dish!

These are the details

Step 1: gather your ingredients

This dish really has just two ingredients: marinated mozzarella balls and burrata cheese. That’s it. And all you do?

Take the container of marinated mozzarella and pour it over the burrata cheese. You’ll instantly have the most delicious burrata sitting in the yummiest olive oil with garlic and herbs.

Step 2: the breadcrumbs

You don’t necessarily have to make these, but I recommend that you do – because they are delicious! Ciabatta crumbs (my obsession), salty pistachios, garlic, and butter. Mix it all together and bake until toasted, easy peasy. Sprinkle the crumbs over the burrata to give the dish more texture and flavor.

Step 3: serve

Now, let me give you some serving ideas. While in France, I ate so much melon wrapped in prosciutto that it made me want to replicate it at home. You can serve this with prosciutto-wrapped melon or make prosciutto-wrapped homemade crostinis. Or better yet, make both! Just be sure to add plenty of fresh basil on top.

It’s not fancy, but adding the prosciutto-wrapped melon and crostini makes it look like a dish they’d serve in France. It’s SO GOOD.

My Nonnie would be so proud of this recipe. And she’d serve it up like a pro, not letting anyone know just how easy it was to create. She’d keep the vibe effortless and chic. 

Hopefully, this was just the recipe you all were looking for today. It’s the perfect summer dish to serve at any party, whether you’re hosting or a guest.

I have yet to meet anyone who doesn’t get excited about a burrata appetizer. Burrata is pretty much always well-loved!

Have a great 4th of July, everyone!
