Brunch-Style Smoked Salmon Buratta

If you don’t know what buratta is, it is a soft goey ricotta type of cheese that is encased in a harder mozzarella type shell. It is mild in flavor and will take on the profile of whatever you eat it with. For this take, I have made it into a brunch style, with lox and capers and red onions and dill. I hope you give it a try!

Ingredients:

1 buratta ball

1 8oz package smoked salmon

1 small bottle capers

Olive oil

Dill

Red onion

Pita or wrap of some sort

Lemon

Salt

Pepper

.

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 350.

Cut your wrap/pita into triangles, place on a cookie sheet and brush with a little olive oil on both sides. Bake for 10-15 mins, flipping halfway through.

In a small frying pan, heat up about 1 Tbsp of olive oil. Add your capers, liquid drained, and cook for 3-4 minutes, until the capers are starting to turn golden brown. Remove onto a paper towel lined plate.

Slice your red onion and chop your dill.

To arrange:

Place your buratta in the middle of a plate. Place your smoked salmon around the buratta. Sprinkle with your red onions, capers and chopped dill. Crack a little salt and pepper. Zest your lemon over the top. Serve with lemon wedges and your pita crisps. Enjoy!
