Making Fried Burrata with Spicy Vodka-Style Sauce is simple when you follow these easy steps:

1. Prepare the Burrata: Pat the burrata dry with paper towels. This will help the breading stick better.
2. Set Up Breading Station: In three separate bowls, place flour seasoned with salt and pepper, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs.
3. Bread the Burrata: Dip each burrata ball into the flour, shaking off any excess, then into the egg, and finally coat thoroughly with breadcrumbs. Set aside.
4. Heat Oil for Frying: In a large skillet, pour enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom, about 1/2 inch deep. Heat it over medium-high heat until shimmering.
5. Fry the Burrata: Gently add the breaded burrata to the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Carefully remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
6. Make the Spicy Vodka-Style Sauce: In another skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes, cooking until fragrant, about 1 minute.
7. Add Tomatoes and Vodka: Stir in the crushed tomatoes and vodka. Simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
8. Incorporate Cream: Stir in the heavy cream, mixing until combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for another 5 minutes.
9. Serve the Dish: Place the fried burrata on a plate, spoon the spicy vodka-style sauce generously over the top, and garnish with fresh basil.
