Flatbread Appetizer
This flatbread pizza recipe is so easy to throw together. There are several things I've added to this recipe to make it quick and painless. The first thing I did was use a Pillsbury "pop" can of pizza dough. I served this to my husband and he thought it was homemade.
The second thing I did was use pre-made pesto. You can find this at most grocery stores in the cheese section or in the deli section. Pre-made pesto is a game-changer and fun to have in the fridge to spice up a grilled cheese sandwich or make this easy 3 cheese flatbread recipe.
Pre-shredded cheese is the best invention ever. It makes this appetizer recipe so quick and easy.
