Description
This gourmet-style flatbread combines tangy goat cheese, sweet roasted tomatoes, fresh arugula, and a swirl of pesto. It’s the perfect balance of bold flavors on a crispy crust.
Ingredients
2 flatbreads or naan
1/2 cup grape or cherry tomatoes, halved
1 teaspoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1/3 cup goat cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup basil pesto (store-bought or homemade)
1 cup fresh arugula
Optional: drizzle of balsamic glaze
Instructions
Roast the Tomatoes: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss halved tomatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast on a baking sheet for 15–20 minutes, or until blistered and slightly caramelized.
Prepare the Flatbreads: Place flatbreads on a baking sheet. Spread a layer of pesto on each. Top with roasted tomatoes and crumbled goat cheese.
Bake: Bake flatbreads in the oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the cheese is softened and the edges are crispy.
Top & Serve: Remove from oven and top with fresh arugula. Drizzle with balsamic glaze if desired. Slice and serve immediately.
Notes
Use naan, store-bought flatbread, or homemade dough for the base.
Swap goat cheese with feta or mozzarella if preferred.
Add caramelized onions or prosciutto for a heartier variation.
Can be made vegetarian by using vegetarian pesto (no parmesan).
