Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 450°F. Toss 1 bunch trimmed asparagus with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 12 minutes until tender-crisp.
  2. Step 2: Roll out 1 lb flatbread dough on a floured surface into a 12x14 inch rectangle. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush with remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and sprinkle with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  3. Step 3: Bake the flatbread in the preheated oven for 8 minutes until the edges start to brown lightly.
  4. Step 4: Remove flatbread from oven and layer evenly with 6 slices of prosciutto and roasted asparagus spears. Return to oven and bake for another 5 minutes until flatbread is crisp.
  5. Step 5: Tear 8 oz burrata cheese over the top. Sprinkle 1 tsp lemon zest and 1/4 cup torn fresh basil leaves. Drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil and serve immediately.
