If you're looking for an Italian-inspired holiday appetizer that’s both easy to prepare and brimming with festive flavor, this Caprese-style flatbread is your answer!

The combination of creamy burrata, crispy prosciutto, and rich cherry tomato sauce on a toasty naan base makes this recipe an elegant crowd-pleaser. It’s simple to prepare but feels gourmet, making it ideal for hosting, whether it’s an intimate gathering or a larger celebration.

The beauty of this flatbread lies in the layering of flavors. For the best results, here are a few quick tips:

Use quality ingredients: this flatbread recipe uses only a handful of ingredients. So it's especially important to use the best ingredients you can find: flavorful olive oil and tomatoes, Italian prosciutto, and good quality bread. Colavita cherry tomatoes provide a naturally sweet and rich base for the sauce. If you want a bit of depth, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or Italian seasoning to the tomato sauce for extra warmth.

Get that perfect prosciutto crunch: Baking the prosciutto alongside the flatbread is an effortless way to crisp it up without wasting time. Lay down the prosciutto on the baking sheet lined with parchemnt paper in a single layer. Be sure to check it halfway through the bake to prevent over-crisping.

Finish with a touch of freshness and flavor: A drizzle of Colavita’s Basilolio Extra Virgin Olive Oil and fresh basil right before serving bring all the flavors together with a fresh, herbal aroma that complements the creamy burrata and savory prosciutto.
