Spicy Sausage & Burrata Pizza Tart
Megha Patel
It’s ~PIZZA FRIDAY~! Do you guys officially give up when the clock strikes 12 am on Friday? Because same. Even though I still have a long day of work ahead of me, my brain is already in weekend mode, aka SPICY SAUSAGE & BURRATA PIZZA TART MODE!
The beauty behind pizza is that we can turn just about anything into a beautiful cheesy + saucy circle. With the help of my friends from BeyondMeat, I was able to add some deliciousssss Vegan Sausage! Have you heard of this brand? When they sent it over to me, I didn’t know if I’d like it or not because it actually looks like REAL meat. It was scary, but I was intrigued. I used the Hot Italian Sausage because you know I love me some spice. I personally loved it. But the true test was to have a meat eater try it. I had a couple of friends try it and they were so impressed by its ability to actually taste like meat. The texture was on point, and so were the flavors.
I had a leftover pie crust, so I thought, “let’s make a pizza tart!” Yay! Basically, this was the best idea ever because the tart gets really nice and flaky, the crust is so buttery, and the middle of the pizza is cheesy and flavorful.
If you don’t have access to burrata, feel free to use your favorite cheese. However, the burrata makes the pizza super creamy, which I think made this recipe a winner for me. To fold the tart, start with one part of the circle and fold it in. Keep repeating until the circle is complete with folded layers. Simple, right?
You guys are going to LOVE this one! Thanks BeyondMeat for introducing me to my new favorite products! They have so many other products that I am super excited to try! Everything is 100% plant based, high in protein, and soy/gluten free. I’ll be adding this on to my grocery list indefinitely 😊
