Panko Breading

Other
- 2 burrata rounds

Instructions
- MAKE THE SAUCE – Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2–3 minutes until slightly darkened. Slowly whisk in the heavy cream until smooth. Add red pepper flakes, dried basil, salt, and pepper to taste. Stir in the parmesan cheese and butter, letting them melt into the sauce. Adjust seasoning as needed, and set aside.
- PREPARE BREADING – In one shallow bowl, mix the flour with a pinch of salt and black pepper. In a second bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth. In a third bowl, combine Panko breadcrumbs, grated parmesan, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
- BREAD THE BURRATA – Pat the burrata rounds dry with a paper towel. Coat each burrata round in the flour mixture, then dip it into the whisked eggs, and finally roll it in the Panko mixture, pressing gently to ensure an even coating. Repeat the egg and Panko steps for a double coating if desired for extra crispiness.
