Ingredients
- 2 flatbreads or naan
- ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1–2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- ¼ cup pesto (store-bought or homemade)
- 4 oz goat cheese, crumbled
- 1 cup fresh arugula
- Balsamic glaze (optional, for drizzling)
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
-
Toss the halved cherry tomatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 15–20 minutes until softened and slightly blistered.
-
Place flatbreads on a baking tray and spread each with pesto.
-
Top evenly with roasted tomatoes and crumbled goat cheese.
-
Bake for 8–10 minutes until the edges are crisp and the goat cheese turns slightly golden.
-
Remove from the oven and top with fresh arugula. Drizzle with balsamic glaze if desired.
-
Slice and serve warm.
Notes
-
Don’t skip roasting the tomatoes; it intensifies their flavor and adds that amazing caramelized depth.
-
Use naan or flatbread with some thickness to avoid sogginess.
-
Feel free to swap goat cheese for feta or ricotta for a different twist.
-
Balsamic glaze adds a sweet tang, but it’s totally optional.
-
Leftovers store well in the fridge for up to 2 days—just reheat in the oven or air fryer for best texture.
