Pesto Flatbread Pizza
Description
The Pesto Flatbread Pizza begins by spreading a mixture of whole-milk ricotta, shredded mozzarella, garlic, and black pepper over prepared flatbreads. Small dollops of pesto are added along with thinly sliced Roma tomatoes. Baking at a high temperature crisps the flatbread edges and melts the cheeses, creating a creamy, lightly golden surface. The garlic infuses the cheese topping, while the pesto gives an herbal punch that complements the fresh tomatoes.
Serving the pizza warm with fresh torn basil scattered on top introduces a fresh, green fragrance and flavor. Lightly salting the tomatoes beforehand helps draw out moisture, preventing sogginess and keeping the pizza fresh if stored. This pizza makes a quick snack, appetizer, or light meal when paired with a salad.
Ingredients
- 4 flatbreads prepared
- ½ cup ricotta cheese whole-milk
- ½ cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- 2 garlic minced, cloves
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ cup pesto
- 2 Roma tomato sliced
- basil torn for serving, fresh
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F. Place the flatbreads on 2 baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, garlic and black pepper. Spoon the mixture on top of the flatbreads.
- Add dollops of pesto on top of each flatbread and add sliced tomatoes on top.
- Bake until the ricotta cheese gets melted and the flatbreads are crisp and light brown in color, 5-7 minutes. Serve warm with fresh torn basil.
Notes
- Lightly salt tomato slices ahead of time to draw out moisture and keep the pizza crisp when stored in the fridge.
