It’s easy to make, visually stunning, and perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a casual weeknight dinner or a weekend get-together.
Ingredients
- 4 naan flatbreads
- Olive oil, for brushing
- 8 ounces burrata cheese (2 4oz balls)
- 4 ripe plums (or fruit of your choice), pitted and sliced
- Handful or two of fresh baby arugula
- A few large basil leaves, torn
- Balsamic glaze
- Coarse sea salt (such as Maldon or fleur de sel)
- Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
Directions
- Preheat the Grill: Begin by preheating your grill or grill pan. This ensures that the flatbreads get those perfect grill marks and are evenly heated.
- Prepare the Flatbreads: Lightly brush each naan flatbread with olive oil on both sides. This helps the bread crisp up nicely on the grill.
- Grill the Flatbreads: Place the flatbreads on the grill and cook for 2-4 minutes, flipping once halfway through. Grill until the marks are nicely defined, and the bread is warmed through. Tip: If you’re using a grill pan, try placing a weight on top of the flatbread, like a smaller skillet or a brick wrapped in foil. This will press the bread firmly into the grill pan, giving you more defined grill marks.
- Assemble the Flatbreads: Once grilled, remove the flatbreads and cut the burrata into chunks. Spread the burrata evenly over each flatbread while it’s still warm.
- Add the Toppings: Top the burrata with sliced plums, a handful of fresh baby arugula, and torn basil leaves. The combination of textures and flavors will make every bite delightful.
- Finish with Seasoning: Drizzle the assembled flatbreads with balsamic glaze for a touch of sweetness and depth. Finish with a sprinkle of coarse sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
