Crispy and extra cheesy, this Burrata Prosciutto and Arugula Flatbread will be a new household favorite! We use store bought naan bread for the perfect portion size.

And, this is extra delicious with two times the cheese! We use a high quality mozzarella as the base and get it hot and bubbling. Then, we add a whole ball of burrata on top. When you open and spread the creamy burrata cheese all over the top, the flavors are amazing and so delicious.

Ingredient Notes

Burrata Prosciutto and Arugula Flatbread ingredients on a light wood background. Each items is labeled with a red rectangle box with white text in all caps.

Naan Flatbread - I use store-bought to make this meal quick and easy but you can always make your own. Or, even use pita as a substitute. Regular naan is the go-to but garlic naan is delicious as well!

Mozzarella - Use a high quality cheese. I like Tillamook's thick cut but you can also grab a block and hand shred your own.

Arugula - Baby arugula has a slightly peppery flavor that enhances the overall flavor of this flatbread.

Burrata - the creamy center of this version of mozzarella makes for a cheesy, delicious topping for your flatbread! Find it in the speciality cheese area. I recommend getting a container that has 2 (4 ounce) balls so you can just place one on each flatbread. Or, you can take 1 (8 ounce ball) and split in half. Also, burrata should be served room temperature for this recipe.

Prosciutto - Get this in your supermarket deli or in the specialty lunch meats section.

Balsamic Glaze - It adds a bit of sweet and tangy flavor to each bite. This thick, sticky sauce enhances the presentation, as well as the deliciousness, of the dish. You can make your own or use a store bought version. Amount used is at your own discretion.

Salt, Pepper & Chili Flakes - season to taste! I do recommend just a sprinkle of salt on the burrata as the prosciutto is already salty.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F. Place naan flatbread on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Bake for 8 minutes until lightly golden.

Expert Tips

  • Do not use parchment paper as a substitute for aluminum foil! - Just don't do it! If you don't have aluminum foil then use a silicone baking mat.
  • All ovens run differently! - I would recommend watching the flatbread extra carefully on the last minute or two of the second bake and the entire time during the broil. Oven temperatures and the even the size of your naan flatbread can vary. As a result you want to be careful so that edges of the flatbread don't burn.
  • While broiling the flatbread, keep an eye on the crust, so you don’t burn it!
  • Get good quality cheese! - For this recipe, I suggest either buying a block of cheese and shredding it yourself of using Tillamook's Mozzarella Shredded Cheese in the Farmstyle Thick Cut. It melts so well, and tastes really good and fresh. Some pre-grated cheese contains preservatives that help keep the shredded cheese from clumping but doesn't melt together well when cooking or baking.

Recipe FAQ

Can you use frozen naan to make pizza?

Yes. If your naan is frozen, just let it sit out on the counter for 10 minutes. It will continue thawing in the oven.

Can I add a sauce?

Yes. I personally like the balsamic glaze as a kind of sauce but you could add either an olive oil garlic sauce or pesto to the bottom before you add the mozzarella cheese.

Can I cook the arugula and prosciutto?

While I have not tried this ingredients cooked you definitely can. I would just be mindful that the ingredients don't burn by watching the flatbread extra carefully in the oven.

What can I use instead of balsamic glaze?

Top the flatbread instead with honey, hot honey, chili oil or even some pesto!
