These Flatbread Appetizers have a blend of flavors that is unique and delicious. Quick and easy to put together, you'll pull it out of the oven in minutes, cut into appetizer-sized pieces, and have everyone asking for more.
Flatbread appetizers start out with Naan bread with creamy burrata cheese, then topped with proscuitto and pistachios. We highly recommend a light shake of red pepper flakes over the whole thing, but they can be left off if you have someone sensitive to spices.

Is Naan bread best for this flatbread?
This post contains affiliate links. Click here for our full disclosure and privacy policy.
We liked Naan bread best when developing the recipe. Naan is pretty substantial so it can hold up to be cut into thin appetizer-sized pieces. We do love Flatout Artisan Thin Pizza Crusts and we used those for our Greek Style Flatbread, but we cut that one in larger portions. Naan bread is what we used with our Lobster Flatbread and it turns out great.
If you want to make this recipe as a pizza-type meal and cut it into big pieces you could certainly go with something like the Flatout. However, we like it best as unique little flatbread appetizers, and Naan is best for that.
What about those pistachios?
Until a few years ago I never saw pistachios for sale that had been shelled. What an exciting discovery that was! We like the brand called Wonderful Pistachios and they truly live up to their name. They make a "wonderful" topping for these flatbread appetizers.
For this recipe we chopped them up, but not too finely. After a little trial an error, I discovered that the best method was to simply use a chef's knife and a cutting board.
By rocking the knife blade back and forth you can chop your pistachios without getting the pieces too small, and, if you're careful, without having too many wayward pistachio pieces flying all over your kitchen.
We hope you love these flatbread appetizers as much as we do. When you make it, take a shot and tag us on Facebook or Instagram. We love seeing your versions of our recipes!
