BLTs are one of my favorite comfort foods of all time. What makes them so different from other comfort foods is that they can be whipped up in no time. This, I love. This is my fun spin on a traditional BLT. I am OBSESSED with burrata lately. When it comes to cheese, it’s all I can think about; and now that we have a Trader Joes (FINALLY!) in the area, I’ve been able to stock up on burrata for a fraction of the price at other large grocers. For those of you who may have never heard of it, Burrata is basically a fresh mozzarella cheese stuffed with a mixture of mozzarella and cream. When you cut into it, the mozzarella and cream mixture just oozes it out. It’s fabulous…just fabulously delicious. It’s also addicting. Beware. This recipe is a simple lunchtime snack, that can be prepared ahead of time if you’re on-the-go. Bacon and burrata…you can’t go wrong with that combination! Mmmmm…Baconnn.

Beer: Oskar Blues’ Mama’s Little Yella Pils
Brewed By: Oskar Blues
Style: Czech Pilsner
ABV: 5.30%
Description: I usually don’t gravitate towards pilsners, unless it’s Oskar Blues’ Mama’s Little Yella Pils, and then I am completely ok with it. Pilsners have to have some substance to them for me to fall in love with one, and Yella Pils has a lot more than substance. I don’t want to toot my own horn or anything, but one thing I do know a little bit about is pairing beer and cheese. Burrata cheese is my new obsession, and burrata cheese pairs so well with pilsners, that I can’t even begin to get over it. You get sweetness, along with a little bit of bitterness, in this Czech-style pilsner which is the perfect pairing for many cheeses, especially Burrata. It’s also very light and refreshing. It’s subtle enough that it won’t take away from the deliciousness that is the cheese, but will enhance it’s flavor. This brew is a solid drinking beer, so pick up a 6-pack next time you’re at the liquor store!
