Ingredients
2 pieces flatbread or naan
1/3 cup basil pesto
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup Kalamata olives, sliced
1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup zucchini or yellow squash, sliced
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
2 tablespoons fresh parsley or basil (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. If using a pizza stone, preheat it with the oven.
2. Brush both sides of the flatbread lightly with olive oil and place on the baking sheet.
3. Spread an even layer of basil pesto over the flatbread, leaving a small border around the edges.
4. Top with shredded mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, zucchini, red onion, and olives, spreading toppings evenly.
5. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the flatbread is golden brown.
6. Remove from the oven and sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top.
7. Garnish with fresh parsley or basil. Slice and serve warm.
Notes
Don’t overload with toppings—keep it balanced for a crispy crust.
For a vegan version, use dairy-free cheese and plant-based pesto.
Pre-toast the flatbread for a firmer, crunchier base.
