What is Trader Joe’s Burrata, Prosciutto, and Arugula Flatbread?

This flatbread offers an elevated take on frozen pizza, featuring a base of thin, crispy crust topped with rich burrata cheese, delicate slices of prosciutto, and fresh arugula. The burrata, known for its creamy interior, melts into the dough, adding a luxurious texture, while the prosciutto brings a salty, savory bite. Once baked, the flatbread is topped with fresh arugula for a touch of brightness and a slight bitterness that balances the richness of the other ingredients.

Tasting Notes and Texture

The star of this flatbread is the burrata cheese. As it bakes, the burrata melts beautifully into the crust, creating a creamy, almost buttery layer that complements the salty prosciutto. The prosciutto crisps up slightly in the oven, adding a nice textural contrast. The flatbread itself bakes to a perfectly crisp finish, supporting the toppings without becoming soggy. The fresh arugula provides a refreshing bite that cuts through the richness of the cheese and prosciutto.

While the flavors are well-balanced, the flatbread may be slightly under-seasoned for some palates, so a sprinkle of freshly cracked black pepper or a drizzle of olive oil can elevate the flavor profile.

The ingredients:

Cooking Instructions:

This can be baked in the oven at 450F for 12 minutes.

However, if you are into air fryers and looking for something crispier then consider making it in the air fryer.

Air Fryer Instructions:

1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F for a few minutes.
2. Place the Flatbread in the Basket: Carefully place the flatbread into the air fryer basket, ensuring it lays flat and doesn’t fold or bend.
3. Cook: Air fry for 6-8 minutes, checking for a golden-brown crust and bubbling cheese. Keep an eye on it to ensure it doesn't overcook or burn, as air fryers cook faster than traditional ovens.
4. Add the Prosciutto: Once the flatbread is cooked, remove it from the air fryer and add the pieces of the Prosciutto on top.

Cooking the flatbread in an air fryer can give you a crispier crust in less time compared to a conventional oven. It’s a great option if you’re looking for a faster way to enjoy this delicious flatbread.

If you have a smaller air fryer or it doesn't fit, slice it in half to ensure even cooking.

Pairing Suggestions

To create a full meal experience with Trader Joe’s Burrata, Prosciutto, and Arugula Flatbread, consider these pairing suggestions:

1. Salads:
   A simple salad of mixed greens with balsamic vinaigrette or a lemony arugula salad would complement the richness of the flatbread while adding freshness and acidity to the meal.
2. Wine:
   Pair this flatbread with a light, crisp white wine like a Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc. If you prefer red, a light-bodied Pinot Noir would work well with the salty prosciutto and creamy burrata.
3. Appetizers:
   Start your meal with light antipasto options such as marinated olives, artichoke hearts, or a Caprese salad to stay in line with the Italian-inspired theme of the flatbread.
4. Dessert:
   Finish your meal with something light and refreshing, such as a bowl of fresh berries with whipped cream or a scoop of lemon sorbet to cleanse the palate.
