Sunday Supper, Cheesy Tomato Basil Flatbread
We’ve been having a great time on the coast this past week,
boating, swimming and playing
4th of July fun with friends
The other day I told HHjr that instead cooking that night
we should have a “clean out the fridge” dinner
“We have a lot of BBQ ribs leftover from our 4th of July cookout” I said
“and we have salad stuff and zucchini and squash that I can roast~
and plus, there’s a tomato flatbread I’m dying to make!”
This is one of those “drop what you’re doing and make this now” recipes
Seriously, it’s that good!
Start by slicing tomatoes and putting the slices on paper towels to drain
Bake the crescent roll sheet until it is set and beginning to turn golden
The topping is made with mayonnaise, mozzarella cheese,
garlic, Parmesan and fresh basil
mix it together
Put a layer of mozzarella on the partially baked crust
and top with drained tomato slices
There were a few cherry tomatoes leftover from Taco night
so I added those too
Place large spoonfuls of topping mixture on top of tomatoes
Spread it out into an even layer
Bake at 375 degrees for 10-14 minutes or until set and bubbly
This recipe is adapted from The Kitchen is my Playground

It looks like a very yummy meal!
thanks Angie!
I do declare… this is going to be made this week! I can’t wait!
Thanks Jenna and Happy Sunday!
You’re going to love it!
Jenna, that looks so delicious. Like Nancy said, I need to make this! Happy Sunday!
Yes, and I hope you love it!
Yum, very similar to my tomato pie recipe that also uses mayo and Parm. I like the crescent roll crust idea!
Thanks Carole, it’s very similar to tomato pie, it’s on a crust rather than in a crust!
That looks so good, Jenna, as Iām waiting for my flight to go to Colorado. I made a tomato tart last night which is somewhat similar but uses pie crust and no Mayo. Itās so good! Enjoy your week! š
Thank you Kitty, safe travels!
I love Clean Out the Fridge Night! And that tomato flatbread looks just fabulous. I think I need to add this to the summer repertoire!
I hope you try it Jeanie, it’s really good!
Wow, that sounds and looks so GOOD!
Thanks Rita, this is a new favorite for sure!
Oh, and we always called that leftover dinner CURD – clean up the refrigerator day. Yours sounds better, I must admit. LOL
š CURD does not sound very appealing!
That looks SO good, Jenna. You have great ideas on Pillsbury Crescent Roll recipes. They need to put you on staff.
Ha ha, I do love to use crescent roll dough! Thank you Linda, and this is SO good!
Jenna, this flatbread looks yummy! We have so many garden tomatoes, and this would be a great recipe to put them to good use. Thanks for sharing! Wishing you a wonderful week!

Oh Mary, it was so good!
Oh yum! This looks so delicious and I am so pinning this. There are so many gorgeous fresh tomatoes out there either at the farmer’s market of the grocery store and I can’t wait to try it. Thank you for sharing!
Oh that sounds so good Jenna! We’re still waiting for heirloom tomatoes to ripen. Glad you’re enjoying your beach time. Love seeing the kids wearing their glow-in-the-dark and light up attire. š
Thank you Mary, the flatbread was amazing, I will be making it again soon! We had a weather perfect week, and the kids had a ball…
I never thought of using crescent rolls as a crust for homemade pizza. That’s a great idea. This recipe sounds amazing. I have pinned it and will be making it very soon!
Crescent roll dough makes great pizzas, I use it all the time~ and I hope you make this, it’s amazing!
How yummy! These are definitely some of my favorite summer flavors! š
