Ingredients (4 Servings):
- 1 Egg
- 300 g Burrata

- 125 g Butter
- Anchovies (Fillets in Oil) To Taste
- 250 g Flour

Preparation:
- Begin to prepare the bris pasta by working in a planetary mixer or a mixer with the cold butter until the mixture is sandy. Add a teaspoon of salt, water (cold), and mix again until you get a smooth and compact dough. Wrap it in plastic wrap and leave it in the fridge for about 30 minutes or 15 minutes in the freezer.
- In the meantime, remove the stracciatella from the burrata (the inside, soft part) and set it aside, then chop the outer part and pour it into a bowl all together with the yogurt, chives, egg, salt and pepper. Mix until the mixture is well blended.
- Take the bris pasta, roll it out with a rolling pin and cover the cake pan, previously greased and floured.
- Prick the bottom with the tines of a fork and fill the base with the prepared mixture.
- Bake at 180 °C for 20 minutes, then remove from the oven and fill with stracciatella and well-drained anchovy fillets. Bake again for another 20 minutes.
- Take the pie out of the oven, let it cool and serve warm or cold.
