    To achieve the perfect texture and flavor, slice the pears thinly and cook them in a skillet with brown butter and sage. This method caramelizes the pears, enhancing their sweetness and creating a delicious contrast with the savory sage.

  2. Can I make Sweet Brown Butter Sage and Pear Burrata gluten-free?

  3. What can I substitute for burrata cheese in this recipe?
