Frequently Asked Questions

How do I keep burrata from leaking?

Chill it before breading and avoid overheating the oil.

Can I prepare it in advance?

You can bread it ahead and refrigerate up to 2 hours before frying.

What can I substitute for Sriracha?

Calabrian chili paste or chili garlic sauce works beautifully.
