  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

1 large, round flatbread or prebaked pizza crust (at least 12 inches in diameter)

4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided

⅓ cup Boursin cheese

1 pound precooked spicy sausage, sliced

2 cups finely chopped broccoli

3 cups finely shredded kale

6 ounces burrata cheese

Fresh basil leaves, for garnishing

Crushed red pepper flakes, for garnishing

Freshly ground black pepper, for garnishing

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Place the flatbread or crust on a baking sheet and brush with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Spread the Boursin cheese evenly over the crust.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add sausage slices and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes.
  3. Arrange sausage, broccoli, and kale evenly over the crust. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  4. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until vegetables are tender and lightly charred.
  5. Remove from the oven, dollop burrata on top, and garnish with basil, crushed red pepper flakes, and freshly ground black pepper. Slice and serve.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian version, use roasted mushrooms or sun-dried tomatoes instead of sausage.
  • Swap burrata with ricotta or fresh mozzarella.
  • Add heat with sliced jalapeños or a drizzle of hot honey.
  • Use spinach, arugula, or Swiss chard instead of kale.
  • Try grilling instead of baking for smoky flavor.
  • Reheat leftovers in the oven or skillet to keep the crust crisp.
