Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Begin by carefully patting the burrata dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Set it aside while you prepare your breading station.
  2. Set up your breading station by placing three bowls in a row: one with flour seasoned with salt and pepper, the second with beaten eggs, and the third with panko breadcrumbs.
  3. Take the prepared burrata and dip it first into the flour, then into the beaten eggs, and finally roll it in the panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently.
  4. In a large frying pan, heat 1-2 inches of vegetable oil over medium-high until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
  5. Carefully place the breaded burrata into the hot oil, frying each piece for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
  6. In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Sriracha, honey, lime juice, and minced garlic. Whisk together until smooth.
  7. Once the burrata has cooled slightly, arrange on a platter and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve with spicy sauce drizzled or on the side.
