Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Spianate with Tomato (La Bottega di Olivia&Marino) | 12 pieces |
| Spicy Paprika | To taste |
| Sharp Provolone Cheese | 15g |
| Chili Pepper Jam | 25g |
Preparation:
-
Prepare the Flatbreads: Start by arranging the spianate (flatbreads with tomato) on a serving platter. You should have about 12 pieces, each ready to be topped.
-
-
Add Chili Jam: Using a small spoon, gently place around 2g of chili pepper jam on top of each flatbread. Spread it evenly, allowing the sweet heat of the jam to set the tone.
-
Sprinkle Paprika: Next, take the spicy paprika and lightly sprinkle it over the jam-covered flatbreads. This will add a smoky, fiery edge that pairs beautifully with the other ingredients.
-
Top with Provolone: Shred or slice the sharp provolone cheese, then distribute it evenly over the flatbreads. The cheese will melt slightly, enhancing the bold flavors with its creamy texture.
-
Serve & Enjoy: Once you’ve finished assembling the flatbreads, serve them immediately or store in a cool place until ready to serve. These spicy flatbreads are ready to ignite your buffet or appetizer table!
Tips for Perfect Spicy Flatbreads:
- Spice Level Adjustment: If you prefer a milder dish, you can use a less spicy chili jam or reduce the amount of paprika.
- Cheese Variations: Swap provolone with other cheeses like mozzarella or cheddar for a different flavor profile, though provolone’s sharpness is ideal for cutting through the sweetness of the chili jam.
- Garnish Ideas: For added flair, consider garnishing with fresh herbs like basil or parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
These Spicy Flatbreads are a must-try appetizer that balances heat, flavor, and texture, making them an unforgettable choice for your next event!
