Description
These crispy burrata arugula pita pizzas are quick, flavorful, and perfectly balanced with creamy cheese, fresh arugula, and a crispy base.
Ingredients
- 4 whole wheat pita breads
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup marinara or pizza sauce
- 2 balls burrata cheese, torn into chunks
- 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1½ cups fresh arugula
- 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze (for drizzling)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Crushed red pepper flakes, optional
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place pita breads on the baking sheet. Brush each pita lightly with olive oil.
Spread marinara sauce evenly over each pita.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella over the sauce and top with torn burrata.
Bake for 8–10 minutes until cheese is bubbly and edges are crispy.
Remove from oven and immediately top with fresh arugula.
Drizzle with balsamic glaze. Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired.
Slice and serve warm.
Notes
Add arugula after baking to keep its fresh texture.
Substitute spinach or baby kale if arugula isn’t available.
Pre-assemble but bake fresh for best crispiness.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to two days. Reheat in the oven for best texture.
