– 2 large eggs

– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Olive oil (for frying)
Instructions
Creating Fried Burrata with Spicy Vodka-Style Sauce requires attention to detail, but it’s quite manageable. Here’s how you can do it:
1. Prepare the Burrata: Drain the burrata and gently pat dry with paper towels.
2. Set Up Breading Station: In three shallow bowls, place flour seasoned with salt and pepper, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs in individual bowls.
3. Bread the Burrata: Carefully dredge each burrata ball in flour, then dip it into the egg mixture, and finally coat it with breadcrumbs. Ensure they are fully covered.
4. Heat Oil: In a large frying pan, heat enough olive oil over medium heat to cover the bottom. The oil should be hot but not smoking.
5. Fry the Burrata: Place the breaded burrata in the hot oil and fry until golden brown, approximately 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
6. Make the Sauce: In a saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
7. Add Garlic and Spices: Stir in the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, cooking for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
8. Incorporate Tomato and Vodka: Add the tomato sauce and vodka, stirring well. Allow it to simmer for about 5 minutes.
9. Finish the Sauce: Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Simmer for another 3-4 minutes while stirring occasionally until heated through.
10. Serve: Plate the fried burrata and generously spoon the spicy vodka sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh basil leaves.
