This flatbread pizza is what happens when your salad decides it wants to crash pizza night. The result? A crispy, cheesy masterpiece that’s topped with a fresh arugula salad and drizzled with the perfect balsamic glaze. It’s basically pizza trying to be a little fancy—and totally pulling it off. One bite, and you’ll feel like you’re eating at an upscale café, without the snooty waiter.
Ingredients:
- For the Flatbread Pizza:
- 2 flatbreads (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- For the Arugula Salad Topping:
- 2 cups fresh arugula
- ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- ¼ red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- For the Balsamic Glaze:
- ½ cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp honey
Instructions:
- Prep the Balsamic Glaze. In a small saucepan, combine the balsamic vinegar and honey. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Let it cook down for about 10-15 minutes until it’s thickened and syrupy. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
- Bake the Flatbread Pizza. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush the flatbreads with olive oil, sprinkle the minced garlic, and season with salt and pepper. Top with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly with golden spots.
- Prepare the Arugula Salad. While the flatbreads bake, toss the arugula, cherry tomatoes, and red onion in a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper. Toss gently to combine.
- Assemble the Pizza. Once the flatbreads are out of the oven, let them cool slightly. Top each flatbread with a generous handful of the arugula salad. Drizzle the balsamic glaze all over, making sure every bite gets a bit of that tangy goodness.
- Slice and serve immediately! The warm, cheesy flatbread paired with the fresh, peppery arugula and sweet balsamic glaze is a combo you’ll be making again and again.
Optional Add-ins/Add-ons:
- For an extra flavor, you can add cherry tomatoes or mushrooms to your pizza! The toppings can be endless.
