Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 naan flatbreads
- 8 ounces (226 grams) burrata cheese (2 4-ounce/113-gram balls)
- 4 ripe plums, pitted and sliced
Fresh Herbs and Greens:
- 1 handful fresh baby arugula
- 3–4 large basil leaves, torn
Finishing Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil, for brushing
- 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
- 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt (such as Maldon or fleur de sel)
- Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Ignite the grill or prepare a grill pan to create a searing hot cooking surface for the flatbread.
- Carefully coat both sides of the naan with a light layer of olive oil, ensuring even coverage for optimal grilling.
- Position the oiled naan onto the heated grill, allowing it to cook for 2-4 minutes. Midway through cooking, delicately flip the bread to achieve prominent, appetizing grill marks.
- For enhanced grill pan results, place a weighted object like a smaller skillet or foil-wrapped brick atop the naan to create deeper, more defined grill marks and ensure thorough heating.
- Once the flatbread reaches a perfectly crisp and warm state, remove from heat and prepare for topping.
- Gently break the burrata into rustic chunks, distributing them across the warm surface of the grilled naan.
- Artfully arrange thinly sliced plums over the creamy burrata, creating an elegant color contrast.
- Scatter fresh baby arugula and torn basil leaves across the flatbread, adding vibrant color and herbaceous notes.
- Elegantly drizzle balsamic glaze over the entire creation, allowing it to cascade across the ingredients.
- Finish by generously sprinkling sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to enhance the flatbread’s complex flavor profile.
Notes
- Elevate your summer entertaining with this quick and elegant flatbread that combines sweet plums and creamy burrata in just 10 minutes.
- Grilling the naan creates delicious charred marks and adds a smoky flavor that complements the fresh, delicate ingredients.
- Use ripe, in-season plums for the most vibrant and sweet taste, selecting fruits that are slightly soft but not mushy.
- Fresh burrata provides a luxurious, creamy texture that beautifully contrasts with the juicy plums and peppery arugula.
- Balsamic glaze adds a sophisticated, tangy-sweet finish that ties all the flavors together, creating a restaurant-quality appetizer or light meal.
- Pro tip: For best results, serve immediately after assembling to maintain the naan’s crispy texture and prevent sogginess.
