I came up with this recipe when my nephews asked me to make them a pizza. I brought together some of my favorite flavors to make this more than a cheese pizza. This savory and herbaceous treat makes a great appetizer or snack and pairs great with a glass of red wine—but for adults only.
HEIRLOOM TOMATO & AVOCADO FLATBREAD
Makes: 1 serving
Serving size: 2 slices
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 40 minutes
INGREDIENTS
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
3 garlic cloves, peeled and sliced lengthwise
11⁄2 pints heirloom tomatoes
5 tbsp avocado oil, divided
2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary
salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 slice of flatbread
3oz (85g) shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tbsp chopped fresh basil
DIRECTIONS
1 Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C).
2 In a skillet on the stovetop over medium heat, heat the olive oil until shimmering. Add the garlic and sauté until crispy and lightly browned, about 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove the garlic from the skillet, reserve the oil, and spread the garlic slices on paper towels to dry.
3 In a bowl, toss the garlic and tomatoes with 3 tablespoons of avocado oil and rosemary. Season generously with salt and pepper.
4 Spread the tomato mixture evenly on a baking pan lined with parchment paper. Bake until the tomatoes burst, about 20 to 30 minutes.
5 Place the flatbread on a separate baking pan lined with parchment paper and brush with the remaining 2 tablespoons of avocado oil. Arrange the tomato mixture evenly on the flatbread, sprinkle the cheese over the top, and bake for 5 to 10 minutes.
6 Remove the flatbread from the oven and sprinkle the basil over the top. Cut in half and serve immediately.
