Ingredients
- 4 naan flatbreads
- Olive oil, for brushing
- 8 ounces burrata cheese (2 4oz balls)
- 4 ripe plums, pitted and sliced (or fruit of your choice)
- 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: Start by heating your grill or grill pan. You want it nice and hot to get those perfect grill marks.
- Prepare the Bread: Lightly brush both sides of the naan flatbreads with olive oil. This not only prevents sticking but also adds a lovely crispness to the bread. Grill each side for 2-4 minutes. If you’re using a grill pan, you might place a weight on top of the bread, like a smaller skillet or a foil-wrapped brick, to press the bread firmly and enhance the grill marks.
- Assemble the Flatbread: Once your flatbreads are grilled and warm, cut the burrata into chunks and spread them over the bread. Next, layer on the sliced plums, followed by a scattering of baby arugula and torn basil leaves.
- Add the Final Touches: Drizzle generously with balsamic glaze, then sprinkle over some coarse sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste. These last additions bring out the flavors of the fruits and cheese beautifully.

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
Instructions
Preheat grill or grill pan. Lightly brush naan with olive oil on both sides. Grill for 2-4 minutes, flipping once part way through, or until grill marks are nicely defined and bread is heated through. (Tip: if using a grill pan, try placing a weight on top of the bread, such as a smaller sized skillet or a brick wrapped in foil, which will press the bread firmly into the grill pan and produce more defined grill marks).
Cut burrata into chunks, and spread onto warm flatbread. Top with sliced plums, baby arugula, and torn basil.
Drizzle with balsamic glaze and sprinkle liberally with sea salt and black pepper to taste.
