Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pre-made flatbread or naan (810 inches)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for brushing
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced lengthwise into 1/4-inch strips
  • 1 ear of fresh corn, kernels removed (about 3/4 cup) or thawed frozen corn
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • 4 oz burrata cheese (room temperature)
  • 2 tablespoons hot honey
  • Fresh basil leaves or microgreens for garnish

Instructions

  1. Slice the zucchini lengthwise into 1/4-inch strips. Cut the corn kernels off the cob using a sharp knife.
  2. Toss zucchini and corn with 2 tablespoons olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper in a mixing bowl.
  3. Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat until hot and shimmering.
  4. Grill zucchini strips for about 3 minutes per side until tender with grill marks. Grill corn kernels in a single layer, stirring occasionally, until lightly charred and fragrant.
  5. Brush flatbread lightly with olive oil on both sides. Grill flatbread for 1-2 minutes per side until crispy and golden but still pliable.
  6. Transfer grilled flatbread to a serving plate. Arrange grilled zucchini and corn evenly on top.
  7. Tear burrata into chunks and scatter over the veggies.
  8. Drizzle hot honey generously over the flatbread.
  9. Garnish with fresh basil leaves or microgreens.
  10. Optional: For slightly melted burrata, place assembled flatbread under a broiler for 30 seconds, watching carefully.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the grill pan to ensure proper charring. Use high heat for grill marks and flavor. Brush olive oil on flatbread before grilling to prevent sticking. Let burrata come to room temperature before assembling for best creaminess. Drizzle hot honey gradually to balance sweet heat. For gluten-free, use gluten-free flatbread. Burrata can be substituted with fresh mozzarella or ricotta. For vegan, use vegan cheese and agave syrup infused with chili flakes instead of honey.
