Scale
For the Flatbread:
- 2 flatbreads (store-bought or homemade)
- 8 oz burrata cheese
- 6–8 fresh figs, sliced
- Fresh arugula (for garnish)
For the Rosemary Pesto:
- 1 cup fresh basil leaves
- 1/4 cup fresh rosemary leaves
- 1/4 cup pine nuts (or walnuts)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Balsamic Reduction:
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey (or brown sugar)
Optional Toppings:
- Crushed red pepper flakes
- Freshly ground black pepper
- A drizzle of olive oil
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Balsamic Reduction
- Pour the balsamic vinegar and honey into a small saucepan.
- Bring it to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
- Let it cook until the mixture has reduced by half and becomes thick enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 10-15 minutes).
- Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
Step 2: Make the Rosemary Pesto
- In a food processor, combine basil leaves, rosemary leaves, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, and garlic.
- Pulse until the ingredients are finely chopped.
- While the processor is running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until the pesto is smooth and creamy.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Transfer the pesto to a small bowl and set aside.
Step 3: Prepare the Flatbread
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place the flatbreads on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Spread a generous layer of rosemary pesto on each flatbread.
- Tear the burrata cheese into pieces and scatter it evenly over the pesto.
- Arrange the sliced figs on top of the burrata.
Step 4: Bake the Flatbread
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling, and the edges of the flatbread are golden brown.
Step 5: Finish and Serve
- Remove the flatbread from the oven and let it cool for a minute.
- Drizzle the balsamic reduction generously over the flatbread.
- Garnish with fresh arugula, a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes, and a light drizzle of olive oil.
- Slice and serve warm.
