    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.

    flatbread pizza recipe

    Ingredients in Flatbread:

    Flatbread- You can use a pre-made crust, Homemade pizza crust. or this Focaccia Bread Recipe works great!

    Pesto-  I found the pesto I used at Costco.  The flavor is amazing and it's so convenient too. Bonus, it stays fresh for about a month and is perfect for homemade pizza, french bread pizza, these homemade flatbread recipes, and also any kind of homemade pesto pasta.

    Cheese- You can go crazy here.  Customize your flatbread with your favorite or a blend of your favorite cheeses.  Just about any combination is amazing. 

    Vegetables- You can go crazy here too.  Caramelized onions, peppers, jalapeños, mushrooms, tomatoes, olives, and spinach are all good options. 

    Spices- If you want to kick up the flavor in your flatbread, sprinkle just a bit of red pepper flakes, oregano, and sea salt on top.
