Flatbread

- Line baking sheet with parchment paper and place bacon on paper with space in between the slices. Place tomatoes in the spaces
- Drizzle tomatoes with olive oil and season with salt and pepper
- Roast bacon and tomatoes at 400 degrees for 15 minutes, check bacon for doneness and continue baking until bacon is crispy. Drain bacon and tomatoes on paper towels
- Break bacon into 1 inch pieces and cut tomatoes in half
- Spread a generous layer of pimiento cheese on partially baked crust and top with bacon and tomatoes. Sprinkle with scallions
- Bake flatbread at 375 degrees for 7-10 minutes, checking near the end of baking time and remove pizza when crust is golden and cheese is melted and hot.
