Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Marinate the Mozzarella: In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, fresh basil, parsley, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper until well combined. Add the mini mozzarella balls and toss gently to coat. Let the mixture marinate at room temperature for at least 20 minutes.
  2. Prepare the Garlic Breadsticks: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). While the oven warms up, take the refrigerated pizza or breadstick dough and cut it into strips, twisting each strip to create a fun shape. In a small bowl, mix melted butter with minced garlic and parsley before generously brushing this mixture over the twisted dough. Bake the breadsticks for 10–12 minutes or until they are golden brown and fragrant.
  3. Prepare the Burrata: Grab a serving bowl and gently place the fresh burrata inside. Drizzle a little olive oil on top and season it with cracked black pepper.
  4. Assemble the Tapas Board: On a large serving board, start arranging the marinated mozzarella, creamy burrata, and garlic breadsticks. Fill in the spaces with vibrant cherry tomatoes and mixed olives, adding color and excitement. If desired, include toasted baguette slices for an additional crunchy option.
  5. Serve and Share: Invite your guests to gather around the stunning Marinated Mozzarella & Burrata Tapas Board. Let them create their own delightful bites by combining the marinated mozzarella, burrata, and fresh accompaniments.
