Trader Joe’s Flatbread Recipe

This crispy savory Trader Joes Flatbread Recipe is made with pre-made pizza crust, creamy burrata, and ready in 15 minutes. The edges bubble up in the oven while the center melts into a rich pool of cheese before getting topped with salty prosciutto. I always grab these ingredients during my weekly grocery run for a quick meal.

What Makes This Version Different

I used to spend hours making pizza dough from scratch until I discovered how well these store-bought flatbreads bake up. They crisp up beautifully in a hot oven without any of the messy flour cleanup.

The real trick I learned is waiting to add the delicate toppings until after baking. Tossing the arugula and prosciutto on at the end keeps everything fresh and bright.

Trader Joes Flatbread Recipe Ingredients

• 1 package Trader Joe’s Artisan Pizza Crust
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1 package (8 oz) Trader Joe’s Burrata Cheese
• 1 package (3 oz) Trader Joe’s Prosciutto
• 2 cups Trader Joe’s Baby Arugula
• 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze

How To Make Trader Joes Flatbread Recipe

1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the crust: Place the flatbread on the baking sheet, brush evenly with olive oil, and sprinkle the minced garlic over the top.
3. Add the cheese: Tear the burrata into smaller pieces and distribute them evenly across the flatbread.
4. Bake the flatbread: Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbling.
5. Add fresh toppings: Remove from the oven and immediately drape the prosciutto slices over the warm flatbread.
6. Garnish and serve: Top with fresh arugula, drizzle with balsamic glaze, slice into squares, and serve immediately.

Recipe Tips

• Don’t over-sauce: Heavy sauces will make the thin crust soggy, so stick to a light brush of olive oil.
• Dry the burrata: Pat the fresh cheese dry with a paper towel before tearing to prevent excess moisture pooling on the bread.
• Watch the edges: The pre-baked crust goes from golden to burnt quickly, so check it closely at the 8-minute mark.

What To Serve With Flatbread

This crispy flatbread pairs well with a simple Caesar salad or a bowl of roasted tomato soup. For a lighter dinner, serve it alongside some roasted asparagus and a chilled glass of white wine.

How To Store

Keep any leftover slices in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. Reheat them in an oven or air fryer at 350°F for a few minutes to restore the crispy crust, keeping in mind the arugula will wilt.

FAQs

Can I use different cheeses?

Yes, shredded mozzarella or goat cheese work well if you cannot find burrata. They melt nicely and complement the salty meat.

Do I need to bake the prosciutto?

It is best added after baking so it retains its tender texture. Baking it will make it crispy, which alters the intended finish of the dish.

Can I cook this on a grill?

Absolutely, just heat your grill to medium-high. Watch the bottom crust closely so it does not burn before the cheese melts.
