Recipe Box, Pimiento Cheese Bacon Lettuce & Tomato Flatbread
Okay, this is one of those “seriously, you have to make this!” recipes!!
A golden dough
spread with a thick layer of homemade pimiento cheese
then topped with bacon, roasted grape tomatoes and scallions
baked
and topped with chopped romaine lettuce
Are you drooling yet?
AND it’s easy peasy to make!
First make the pimiento cheese,
extra sharp yellow cheddar, Vermont sharp white cheddar
chopped pimientos and mayonnaise
Next prebake your crust
I used a crescent roll dough sheet
but you can use any pizza crust dough you want
You can even use naan bread that doesn’t require any prep
Partially bake the dough until it sets and begins to turn golden
You don’t want it cooked completely
because it will cook more after it’s topped
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper
Place the raw bacon strips on with spaces in between
for the tomatoes
Drizzle the tomatoes with olive oil and
season them with salt and pepper
Roast at 400 degrees for 15 minutes and check,
continue baking 2-5 more minutes if necessary until bacon is done
Drain the bacon and tomatoes on paper towels
Now you’re ready to assemble the flatbread
Tear bacon into 1 inch pieces and cut tomatoes in half
Spread a generous layer of pimiento cheese on baked dough
Put the bacon and tomato pieces over cheese
Sprinkle with scallions
Bake flatbread for 8-10 minutes
or until dough is golden, and cheese has melted
While pizza is baking chop the romaine for the final topping
The cool crisp lettuce is a wonderful contrast
to the crispy bacon, roasted tomatoes and melted cheese
Cut into large squares to serve for main dish
or small squares for appetizers

Flatbread

- Line baking sheet with parchment paper and place bacon on paper with space in between the slices. Place tomatoes in the spaces

I adore flatbread and had no idea it could be made from the crescent package. The combination of flavors looks exceptionally delicious.
Thanks so much, and it is really good on the crescent dough!
I am printing this one out. Anything with pimiento cheese in it, on it, or even next to it, has my name written all over it. YUM!
Thanks Pattie! I love pimiento cheese too but can’t handle spicy so amp this up if you want it hotter. I hope you enjoy, I ate this for dinner for 3 nights in a row!
