Burrata cheese can be difficult for some to find, but there’s a way to mimic its flavor using chef Abra Berens’ ingenious technique that only takes four easy-to-find ingredients.

Simply toss a torn mozzarella ball with sour cream, lemon zest, and salt for a concoction that replicates burrata’s rich, tangy, buttery flavor and texture.

This fake burrata is ideal for salads or any room-temperature foods; however, Chef Berens warns against using it in warm food as it might not hold up to the temperature.

Chef Berens’ faux-burrata is a versatile mixture as it can also complement a firm, sharper cheese like Parmesan or be used as a spread on a room-temperature pizza crust.
