Take-out Tuesday, Antipasto Flatbread

Easier than ordering pizza, and a much lighter and healthier option, this flatbread comes together in minutes and is a great meal or appetizer.  DD and I made this last week for dinner while we were enjoying a little girl time at the beach.  It is perfect for summer dining.

We loaded this puppy up with lots of mushrooms, artichoke hearts, ribbons of salami and 2 different cheeses

The crust is just a piece of this “Flatout” brand thin crust flatbread which is widely available.  I’ve seen it at Wal Mart and Publix.

I sauteed the mushrooms first and next time I will saute the artichoke hearts too, just to get them a little golden and more flavorful

You’ll want to bake the flatbread for a few minutes to get the crust firm before topping.  Start with a smear of pesto.

and begin piling stuff on! For each flatbread I used about 3 pieces of thin salami, 1 slice of thin Havarti cheese, 8 mushroom slices, 2-3 artichoke hearts, and a sprinkling of shaved Parmesan.

Each one comes in at under 500 calories and packed with flavor.

The crust is delightfully thin and “cracker like” crispy.

You can easily cut this into smaller pieces to serve as an appetizer

or enjoy it whole for an easy one dish meal.  We split the leftover one several days later for lunch and it was just as good!

Here’s the recipe:
