Cooking Tips

• Blanching the broccoli rabe helps to remove some of its bitterness and makes it more tender.
• Be careful not to overcook the broccoli rabe, as it should still have a slight crunch.
• Choose a ripe and creamy burrata cheese for the best flavor and texture.
• For an extra burst of flavor, add a sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan cheese on top.

Storage and Serving

• This dish is best served immediately while the burrata is still creamy and the broccoli rabe is warm.
• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• To reheat, gently warm the dish in a skillet over low heat, being careful not to overcook the broccoli rabe.
