Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pre-made flatbread (about 10 oz)
  • 8 oz fresh mozzarella cheese
  • 2 medium ripe tomatoes, sliced
  • 1 cup fresh basil leaves
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) for that perfect crispness.
  2. Place the flatbread on a parchment-lined baking sheet for easy cleanup.
  3. Tear the mozzarella into pieces and distribute evenly across the flatbread.
  4. Layer the sliced tomatoes on top and season generously with salt and pepper.
  5. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown and bubbly with melted cheese.
  6. Remove from oven, add fresh basil leaves, and drizzle with olive oil.
  7. Let rest briefly before slicing to avoid burning your tongue.

Notes

  • Use high-quality fresh mozzarella for best melting and flavor. Choose juicy, ripe tomatoes that are bright red.
  • High temperature (475°F) is essential for crispy flatbread. Add fresh basil after baking to enhance both aroma and taste.
