Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz (226 g) burrata cheese (2 4-oz/113-g balls)
- 4 naan flatbreads
- 4 ripe plums, pitted and sliced
- 1 tbsp olive oil, for brushing
- 2 tbsps balsamic glaze
- 1 tsp coarse sea salt (such as Maldon or fleur de sel)
- Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
- 1 handful fresh baby arugula
- 3–4 large basil leaves, torn
Instructions
- Grill Preparation: Heat grill or grill pan to high temperature, creating an intense cooking surface for the flatbread.
- Naan Preparation: Brush both sides of naan with olive oil, ensuring complete and uniform coverage for optimal grilling.
- Grilling Process: Place oiled naan on heated surface, cooking for 2-4 minutes and flipping midway to develop pronounced grill marks. For enhanced results, apply pressure with a weighted skillet or foil-wrapped brick to intensify charring and ensure thorough heating.
- Topping Assembly: Remove crisp flatbread from heat and immediately distribute rustic burrata chunks across the warm surface.
- Flavor Layering: Arrange thinly sliced plums over creamy burrata, creating a visually striking color palette. Sprinkle fresh baby arugula and torn basil leaves to introduce vibrant green elements and herbaceous undertones.
- Final Flourish: Drizzle balsamic glaze in an elegant cascade across the flatbread, allowing the glossy reduction to weave between ingredients. Conclude by generously seasoning with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to elevate the flavor complexity and provide a balanced sensory experience.
Notes
- Grill with Precision: Ensure the grill or grill pan is extremely hot before placing the naan to achieve perfect crispy texture and beautiful char marks.
- Oil Evenly: Lightly brush both sides of naan with olive oil to prevent sticking and promote even golden-brown coloration.
- Press for Perfect Marks: Using a weighted skillet or brick helps create deeper, more defined grill marks and ensures consistent heating across the flatbread surface.
- Serve Immediately: Assemble and serve the flatbread right after grilling to maintain optimal temperature and prevent sogginess of the delicate ingredients.
