A Simple Flatbreat Blue Cheese and Arugula Pizza


A SIMPLE FLATBREAD BLUE CHEESE AND ARUGULA PIZZA


 
 Not really a pizza but a wonderful snack, lunch or side to a soup for dinner. I paired it with a cup of Vegetable beef and barley soup for dinner.
 
Flatbread or also known as Lavish, is an unleavened bread originating from ancient times.
This is a plain flatbread that provides you with a canvas.  Paint it with all the myriad of vegetables, cheeses and sauce you come up with from your refrigerator and pantry.  This is what I came up within a few minutes. 
I really am impressed with this bread. It is thin and become crispy when baked or rolled wonderfully to make all kinds of sandwiches.

1 Flatbread
Handful arugula
¼ sliced red pepper
5 grape tomatoes sliced
2 ozs crumbled blue cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
Layer the vegetables and cheese on the flatbread. Drizzle with olive oil and bake 625 for 5-6 minutes until the cheese is melted and the flatbread is crispy.

TIPS:

·        Drizzle the bread with olive oil and toast as a side to any meal. Certainly less calories than a fat big dinner roll.
·        Sprinkle with garlic and cheese and make a thin garlic bread.
·        Make rolled sandwiches with the bread.
·        Flat bread comes in all kinds of grains and flours, so checkout your options.
·        PS:  I bought this flat bread.. but on another blog I promise to make it as it is so EASY!
