Cheesy Spinach Artichoke Flatbread Pizza
Description
This recipe starts by crisping flatbreads in a 350°F oven, creating a sturdy base. Meanwhile, fresh spinach, garlic, and quartered artichokes (with extra for topping) are chopped finely and combined with softened cream cheese and mayonnaise. Salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes provide seasoning, and grated Monterey Jack cheese is stirred in for meltiness and stretch.
Spreading this creamy mixture on pre-crisped flatbreads, then adding additional cheese, artichokes, and sliced Roma tomatoes, the flatbreads bake again until the cheese melts and bubbles, and the flatbread edges are crisp. The result is a flavorful, textured flatbread with earthy spinach, tangy artichoke, creamy cheese, and a touch of heat.
Optional toppings include thin red onion, fresh basil, or sautéed mushrooms. Drizzling with a balsamic glaze adds acidity and sweetness. This recipe is scalable for groups and works well as a customizable snack or light meal.
