1Burrata at room temperature
1tablespoonExtra virgin olive oil

Instructions
Heat up a tablespoon of oil into a small pan or microwave. Turn it off, then add chili flakes (to taste) and let aromatize for about 5 minutes.
In the meantime, clean your basil and your tomatoes under running water.
Chop them and start arranging the tomato caprese: into a bowl or on a plate, put cherry tomatoes, burrata (divide it into two pieces if serving in different plates) and some basil leaves ("chop" it with your hands).
Remove the flakes from the oil then season your caprese with this spicy oil, salt and pepper.
The classic caprese is served with everything sliced on a plate.
