Notes
Handling Burrata - Burrata is delicate. Tear it gently to keep its creamy interior intact. Use your hands instead of a knife to avoid squishing it.
Timing is Key - Assemble the bruschetta just before serving to keep the bread from becoming soggy. Prepare all components ahead of time and quickly put them together right before eating.
