Instructions

Arrange Burrata: Place the burrata balls evenly spaced on a large serving platter, setting the foundation for the appetizer.
Add Pomegranate and Pistachios: Evenly sprinkle the pomegranate seeds and chopped pistachios over and around the burrata balls to add color and crunchy texture.
Drizzle Oils and Glaze: Lightly drizzle extra-virgin olive oil and balsamic glaze over the burrata and toppings, enhancing flavor depth and adding a glossy finish.

Notes

For the freshest flavor, assemble just before serving to maintain burrata creaminess and the crispness of the garnishes.
If burrata is not available, substitute with fresh mozzarella for a similar texture and mild taste.
Enhance the festive appearance by adding extra garnishes such as rosemary sprigs or edible flowers.
