Looking to elevate your meals with bold, savory flavors? This simple soppressata recipe highlights the rich taste of this classic Italian sausage, perfect for any occasion.
Soppressata Recipe Ingredients
- 1 pre-made flatbread or pizza dough
- 4 oz thinly sliced dry-aged soppressata
- 1 cup fresh arugula
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp honey
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: Red pepper flakes for extra heat
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (or follow the instructions on your pizza dough for optimal baking).
- Assemble the Flatbread: Place the flatbread or rolled-out pizza dough on a baking sheet. Drizzle a little olive oil on the surface and spread it evenly.
- Add the Cheeses and Soppressata: Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the flatbread, followed by small dollops of ricotta cheese. Arrange the thinly sliced soppressata evenly on top.
- Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbling.
- Add Arugula and Honey: Remove the flatbread from the oven, and immediately top it with fresh arugula. Drizzle with honey for a touch of sweetness and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) for extra flavor.
- Serve: Slice into pieces and serve warm.
The salty, slightly spicy soppressata pairs beautifully with the creamy cheeses and peppery arugula, while the honey adds a perfect hint of sweetness to balance the flavors. Enjoy!
