These fun little flatbreads are a nice change of pace from pizza. All you need to do is crisp up store-bought flatbreads in a hot skillet and you are ready to add your own luscious toppings.
Choose flatbreads no larger than about 8 inches in diameter so they can fit in a standard skillet. You can use small partially-baked pizza crusts, sturdy pita breads, or even Indian breads.
Ingredients
- 4 flatbreads (mini pizza crusts, pita, naan, etc.)
- 1 cup hummus or vegan pesto, or as needed
- Two big handfuls of baby arugula or spinach leaves, or as needed
- 1/2 pint cherry or grape tomatoes, sliced
- 1/2 cup pitted black olives, sliced
Preparation
1. Heat a medium-size skillet. Grill one flatÂbread at a time over medium heat, until golden brown on both sides.
2. Remove from the heat and spread the flatÂbread with about 1/4 cup of hummus or pesto, or enough to cover generously. Cut into quarters and sprinkle with some of the arugula, cherry tomatoes, and olives. Repeat with the remainÂing flatbreads.
