Assembly
Instructions
Cranberry Basil Mix
- Preheat oven to 400°F. In a medium saucepan, combine cranberries, sugar, lemon juice and basil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar melts.
- Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, and boil for 3 minutes. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. Let cool 10-15 minutes.
Bake
- Place the flatbreads on a baking sheet. Spread the cranberry basil mix on the flatbreads. Tear the burrata apart and scatter pieces over the cranberries.
- Bake at 400°F for 3 to 6 minutes.
Notes
- Allow the cranberry basil mixture to cool slightly before spreading on flatbreads to prevent them from becoming too soggy.
- Burrata is best served at room temperature, so assemble just before baking for the creamiest texture.
- You can prepare the cranberry basil mixture ahead of time and refrigerate it for up to 3 days.
