This burrata with tomato confit and peaches is the PERFECT treat for summer! The flavors work so well together and it’s so easy to make. Enjoy with bread or over arugula.
If you have a recipe that calls for just the egg whites, save and cure your egg yolks - they’ll be more jammy and flavorful! Cured egg yolks are great spread on toast, on rice, and on ramen.
