Fig and Prosciutto Holiday Burrata Plate
This gorgeous fig and prosciutto burrata plate makes the perfect holiday appetizer! Creamy burrata, sweet fig jam, salty burrata, and festive touches like chopped pistachios and pomegranate seeds come together to make a delicious before-dinner spread.
Burrata is an incredibly versatile food to dress up in different ways, both sweet and savory – this fig and prosciutto burrata plate combines both into one delicious appetizer. Just mix up your burrata and top it with flavorful, festive ingredients like fig jam, prosciutto, pistachios, and pomegranates, and you’ve got a stunning holiday dish in no time! I personally love adding a bit of orange zest for a small burst of wintery citrus flavor, and you can’t go wrong with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of flaky salt, too. Serve it with warm, crusty bread like a sliced baguette and you’ll be the star of your next holiday dinner party!

Customize This Recipe!
There are a few different ways you can customize this recipe:
- Add an extra drizzle. Classic olive oil is always a good choice, but you can dress up this burrata plate with some balsamic glaze or even a bit of hot honey!
- Get nutty. Pistachio and pomegranate is my personal favorite combo, but another nut like pecans or hazelnuts (or a combination) would also be delicious options.
Kitchen Tips:

FAQ
The options are kind of endless! For more festive flavors, try rosemary sprigs, plums, hazelnuts, or cranberries.
I love to have a crusty, toasted bread like sourdough or baguette slices, but you can also use pita chips or bread, assorted crackers, or even crunchy veggies!
This burrata plate is best enjoyed immediately after making, but you can also store leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for 1-2 days.
