Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 flatbreads from my flatbread recipe or store-bought flatbread
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 3/4 cup pesto
  • 1 ½ cups fresh mozzarella sliced
  • 1 ½ cups cherry tomatoes halved
  • balsamic glaze drizzled
  • 4 tablespoons fresh basil julienned
  • parmesan freshly grated

Instructions

  • Make my quick and easy flatbread recipe and par-bake as instructed. Or purchase two store-bought flatbread crusts.
  • Heat oven to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. Dust 2 baking sheets with cornmeal and place flatbread on top.
  • In a small bowl, mix olive oil and minced garlic. Brush flatbreads with the olive oil garlic mixture all the way to edges covering the entire flatbread. This ensures the crust gets nice and crispy.
  • Divide pesto between the two crusts into an even layer.
  • Top with slices of fresh mozzarella cheese.
  • Spread halved cherry tomatoes evenly overtop.
  • Bake for 10-15 minutes or until cheese is melted and edges of crust start to get dark golden brown.
  • Remove from oven and top with sprinkle of parmesan cheese, fresh basil and drizzle with balsamic glaze.
