Take-out Tuesday, Holiday Flatbread with Thanksgiving Leftovers
I know this is a very busy week in the USA
with many of us preparing to celebrate Thanksgiving
with a feast of fall foods
And with that feast comes leftovers
I am actually traveling today so I am re-sharing a great recipe
for a flatbread that will transform your holiday food!
Cranberry is a traditional flavor for the fall and winter holidays,
so that is the base for this festive flatbread
Naan bread is a great option for the crust,
but you can certainly use your favorite pizza crust,
flatbread or french bread*
*partially cook raw pizza crust until it begins to turn golden, or toast french bread before adding toppings
Spread the crust with a layer of cranberry sauce,
I used whole berry canned cranberry sauce,
but homemade would be even better
Vermont sharp white cheddar cheese is a nice contrast
to the cranberry sauce and helps
balance the sweetness
Next, add a layer of turkey or ham or both
Next comes a layer of ripe sweet pear slices and a sprinkle of bleu cheese
goat cheese, or Parmesan cheese
For the final touch, a sprinkle of walnuts and dried cranberries
and it’s ready for the oven
I cooked this one in a toaster oven on the toast cycle,
but you can bake it in a regular oven at 400 for about 10 minutes
All the holiday flavors you crave on a pizza!
