Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Burrata: Start by gently patting the burrata balls dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  2. Set Up Breading Station: Create a station with seasoned flour, beaten eggs, and panko breadcrumbs in shallow bowls.
  3. Coat the Burrata: Lightly coat each burrata in flour, then dip in egg, and roll in panko breadcrumbs.
  4. Heat the Oil: In a pan, heat 1-2 inches of vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C) for optimal frying.
  5. Fry the Burrata: Carefully fry the coated burrata for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  6. Prepare the Zesty Sauce: Combine mayonnaise, Sriracha, honey, lime juice, and garlic in a bowl and whisk until smooth.
  7. Plate and Serve: Place fried burrata on a platter, drizzle with sauce, and garnish with cilantro before serving.
