how to make Everything Bagel Burrata with Spicy Tomato Jam

Ingredients :

2 burrata balls (125g each)
1/2 cup plain flour
1 egg, beaten
3/4 cup panko
2 tbsp Everything Bagel mix
Oil for shallow frying
250g cherry tomatoes
1 tbsp olive oil
1 garlic clove
1 tbsp soft brown sugar
1 tbsp vinegar (red wine or balsamic)
1/2 tsp chili flakes
Pinch of salt
Chives, microgreens, or more bagel seasoning for garnish

Directions :

Cook the cherry tomatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, brown sugar, vinegar, chili flakes, and salt over medium heat until the mixture thickens, about 20 minutes. Let cool after cooking.
To prevent the burrata from bursting during frying, freeze the burrata for 15 minutes.
Prepare the coating by dredging the burrata in flour, dipping it in the beaten egg, and then coating it in panko mixed with Everything Bagel mix.
In a hot pan with oil, fry the coated burrata for 1–2 minutes per side until golden and crisp. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even cooking.
Remove the burrata and place it on a plate. Serve with spoonfuls of the spicy tomato jam beside it. Garnish with chives, microgreens, or more bagel seasoning, and serve immediately.
