Step-by-Step Instructions

  3. Dredge each burrata ball in flour, then dip in beaten eggs, and roll in panko breadcrumbs.
  4. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan to cover the bottom with 1-2 inches at 350°F (175°C).
  5. Carefully add the coated burrata to the hot oil, frying for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
  6. In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, Sriracha, honey, lime juice, and minced garlic. Mix well until smooth.
  7. Plate the fried burrata, drizzle with spicy sauce or serve it alongside for dipping, and garnish with cilantro.
