Pro Tips Before You Start
Pat burrata dry before tearing to reduce excess moisture.
Use parchment or plastic wrap under the roll-up for easier shaping.
Chill the roll for 5–10 minutes before slicing for cleaner cuts.
Sharp serrated knives work best for cutting clean slices.
Drizzle just before serving to prevent sogginess.
How to Make Burrata Antipasto Roll-Ups
Step 1: Layer the Meats
Lay out overlapping slices of prosciutto and salami on a clean surface or parchment paper to form a rectangle.
Step 2: Add Fillings
Top with fresh basil leaves, arugula or spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, and torn pieces of burrata.
Season with salt, pepper, and a light drizzle of olive oil and balsamic glaze.
Step 3: Roll it Up
Starting from the long edge, gently but tightly roll up like a sushi roll.
Use the parchment or your hands to shape it into a log.

Cut into 6–8 pieces using a sharp knife.
Serve immediately with a little extra balsamic glaze on top.
