Jake Miller discovered buffalo mozzarella at a farmer’s market and never looked back. This guide shares his favorite ways to serve it—from simple tomato salads to hearty flatbreads—alongside farm-tested tips for storing, slicing, and savoring every bite of this creamy, brined cheese. Real flavor, straight from the heartland.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ball of buffalo mozzarella (packed in brine)
  • 3–4 ripe heirloom tomatoes
  • Fresh basil leaves
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper
  • Optional: grilled flatbread, crusty sourdough, or sliced baguette

Instructions

  1. Remove the buffalo mozzarella from the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for 20–30 minutes.
  2. Slice tomatoes and arrange on a platter.
  3. Slice or tear mozzarella by hand and layer over the tomatoes.
  4. Add torn basil leaves and drizzle with olive oil.
  5. Sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper to taste.
  6. Serve with warm flatbread, toast, or as a side to grilled meats or roasted veggies.

Notes

Jake recommends buying buffalo mozzarella stored in brine and using it within 3–5 days. Avoid freezing, overcooking, or shredding. Serve fresh, and pair with garden produce or rustic breads for the perfect farmhouse plate. Lucky the Dalmatian approves (just don’t leave it unattended!).
