Take-out Tuesday, Summer Surprise Flatbread

My go to favorite meal is a one dish salad, casserole or flatbread
loaded with different ingredients,
with lots flavors and textures
Last week I made a flatbread topped with my favorite summer ingredients,
corn and strawberries, plus asparagus and bacon
π
I partially baked the thin pizza crust dough,
then spread it with Alfredo sauce and asparagus
A sprinkling of fresh corn
Bacon
Cheese
AND
π Strawberries π
Sound crazy?
It’s crazy good!

SUMMER SURPRISE FLATBREAD
Ingredients
- 1 can Pillsbury thin crust pizza dough or homemade dough or dough of preference
- 1 cup Alfredo sauce {you can substitute mayonnaise or salad dressing}
- 1 bunch fresh asparagus about 40 spears
- 2-3 ears of fresh corn roasted*
- 8 slices thick bacon cooked until crisp, broken into 1 inch pieces
- 1 cup shredded Italian blend cheese
- 2 oz. crumbled bleu cheese optional
- 6-8 large strawberries tops removed and sliced
- 2 green onion tops chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Place crust dough on a parchment lined baking sheet, reshaping as necessary. Prick all over with tines of a fork. Bake crust according to package directions until it just begins to turn golden, about 7-8 minutes. This can be done ahead of time.
- Break off tough ends of asparagus, rinse and wrap in a clean kitchen towel. Microwave for 1 minute on high and then immediately remove from towel to prevent further cooking.
- Spread crust with an even layer of Alfredo sauce. Top with asparagus spears, corn and pieces of bacon. Sprinkle cheese over all and top with sliced strawberries. Bake at 400 degrees 10-12 minutes until golden and bubbly. Garnish with green onion tops. Cut into large or small squares to serve.
- *roast corn in the oven in the husk for 1 hour at 350 degrees. Let cool and cut corn through the husk at base. Pick up ear by other end and shake to release corn from husk. Stand ears upright in a shallow bowl and slice through kernels from the top down with a sharp knife.
Notes
Enjoy!

Jenna, you are making me hungry this morning. I love a good flatbread. We have a little restaurant nearby that only serves flatbreads, charcuterie boards, and wine. It is a fun little place to visit. Your recipe has all my favorites and not only sounds delicious but looks pretty too! Thanks for sharing, and I hope you have a happy Tuesday!
Thank you Shannon, your restaurant sounds great, I love they serve charcuterie boards, what fun!
Such an interesting mix and combo of flavors and textures Jenna! β₯
yes, pretty crazy, but it was what I was craving!
I am sitting here looking at your surprising flatbread and hoping it will jump off the page and into my hand. Sadly, I am left with desire and an empty stomach. Keep that cooking creativity coming!
ha ha, thanks Linda!
Well, THAT sounds interesting!
π I know it’s crazy but HHjr loved it!!
That does look crazy good! With or without the berries!
Yes, the berries can be optional, but they really complimented the savory elements!
Gotta get me some asparagus! Sounds good:@)
thanks Lynn!
What a fabulous idea! This reminds me of savory and sweet summer salads… only on a flatbread! Can’t wait to try this for a summer time potluck.
Thanks RenΓ©e, I really liked the sweetness the strawberries added!
Your flatbread sounds delicious! I’ll have to try this, I would never have thought to add the strawberries, which I love……..yum!
It’s a little kooky, but even Ryan gave it a thumbs up and ate 2 huge squares!
Jenna, I would love this flatbread…yum fresh corn and strawberries! I would never have thought of adding strawberries, but why not?!! As soon as I can get fresh corn, I am going to make this. Thanks for sharing all of your wonderful recipes. Wishing you a peaceful rest of the week!
Thanks Pam, obviously you could leave off the strawberries, but their sweetness plays well with the savory elements…
Looks so good Jenna. I love flat bread and about anything you put on it! LOL! Hugs and blessings, Cindy
Thanks Cindy, flatbread is always a good choice!
Summer goodness all in one bite! I hope to get to Pennsylvania soon for Strawberry Season!
Oh yes, I guess it is about time to leave your beautiful Arizona…safe travels!
I sent my reply too soon! Then I will give this a try!
Your creativity extends to your cooking! Last night we had a salad made from whatever was left in the refrigerator and it was like your flatbread combining tastes and textures.
I bet that was wonderful, I love salads with unexpected ingredients!
Jenna, this looks so delicious, I think I’m going to have to try it myself! Thank you so much for sharing at this week’s TFT party! I’m featuring you today!
Happy weekend!
