How To Make Air Fryer Trader Joe’s Burrata Focaccia
Step One: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F for 2–3 minutes. Trim the focaccia to fit your basket, then air fry for 3–6 minutes until warm and lightly crisp.
Step Two: While the focaccia toasts, halve the tomatoes and tear the burrata into bite-sized pieces. Once the focaccia is done, remove it from the air fryer and top with burrata, arugula, and tomatoes.
Step Three: Serve with a drizzle of balsamic glaze right before serving.
Air Fryer Trader Joe’s Burrata Focaccia Recipe Tips
- Preheat the air fryer: Always preheat to 400°F for 2–3 minutes to ensure a crispy crust.
- Trim to fit: Cut the focaccia to fit your basket or tray for even cooking.
- Watch the cook time: Air fry 3–6 minutes—keep an eye so it doesn’t over-brown.
- Prep toppings while toasting: Halve tomatoes, tear burrata, and wash arugula to save time.
- Layer after air frying: Add burrata, arugula, and tomatoes after the focaccia is crisp, not before.
- Optional drizzle: Finish with balsamic glaze for extra flavor and visual appeal.
- Serve immediately: Burrata is best enjoyed warm with a crispy crust and gooey center.
Storing and Reheating Instructions
- Storing: Store leftover focaccia in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Keep the burrata separate until ready to serve to maintain freshness.
- Reheating: Reheat the focaccia in the air fryer at 350°F for 2–3 minutes until crispy. Add the burrata, arugula, and tomatoes fresh after reheating for the best flavor and texture.
Air Fryer Trader Joe’s Burrata Focaccia Recipe Faqs
Can I use frozen focaccia? Yes! Thaw it slightly before air frying for best results, or increase cook time by 1–2 minutes until crisp.
Do I have to use burrata? No, fresh mozzarella or stracciatella works as a substitute, though burrata gives that signature creamy center.
Can I prepare this ahead of time? You can prep the toppings in advance, but assemble just before serving to keep the focaccia crisp.
Can I make this in the oven instead? Yes! Bake at 400°F for 5–7 minutes until the focaccia is golden and slightly crispy.
How do I store leftovers? Store focaccia in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days; add burrata fresh when serving.
Can I add other toppings? Absolutely! Try prosciutto, roasted peppers, or a drizzle of balsamic glaze for extra flavor.
