🔥 Instructions
Preheat your grill or pan

🍯 Quick Homemade Hot Honey (optional)
Warm ¼ cup honey with ½–1 tsp chili flakes for 2–3 minutes.
Let it sit, then strain (or keep flakes in for more heat).

Serve immediately while the watermelon is warm and the burrata is creamy.
Add a few crumbles of feta for extra saltiness if you like.
Works great as a starter or light summer dish.
