Blackberry, Prosciutto, & Herb Flatbread
“Be moderate in order to taste the joys of life in abundance.”
― Epicurus
There are few things that bring me greater joy than going out in the garden. Whether at the beginning of the season when the landscape is dormant and full of potential or mid-season when the berries bushes are abundant with fruit and the flowers are in bloom!
With that in mind, the one thing that makes those garden walks even better is being able to integrate freshly picked foods into our meals. Food from the garden just hits differently. Even if you don’t grow your own blackberries, I bet you’ll still enjoy this flatbread!
Blackberry, Proscuitto, & Herb Flatbread
Description:
My husband is my ultimate recipe tester. When I first told him that I was putting berries on pizza, he looked at me sideways... After he took a bite of this, he asked if we could have it every week! To me, this is the tastiest combo of flavors between the freshness of the berries & herbs and the saltiess of the proscuitto paired with the creamy/coolness of the cheese!
INGREDIENTS:
2 Flatbread, naan, or pitas
2-4 Tablespoon Marinara Sauce*
2 oz. Proscuitto
1/2 cup halved Blackberries
1/2-1 cup of sliced Button Mushrooms
4-8 oz. Buffalo Mozzarella
1/2 cup shredded Mozzarella
1/2 cup Arugula
1/2 cup Fresh Basil
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Preheat oven to 400° F.
- Spread Marinara sauce on flatbread.
- Add blackberries, proscuitto, mushrooms, buffalo mozzarella, and shredded mozzarella.
- Place flatbreads in the oven and bake for approximately 14 minutes.
- After the bottom of the flatbread crust is turning a dark golden color and the cheesy surface is bubbling, top flatbread with arugula and basil. Bake for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Remove flatbreads from oven, let cool a few minutes, slice, serve, and enjoy!
Notes:
- I prefer Marinara sauces that don't have a ton of added sugar. Primal Kitchen has some good options!
- At our house, we love pairing this with a big green salad or a refreshing appetizer like cantelope with basil & a balsamic vinegar glaze!
