Flatbreads are so versatile and make for a tasty breakfast, lunch, dinner or appetizer. These are one of my favorite meals to throw together when I am in a hurry or I have random things in my refrigerator. For me, a good flatbread has simple ingredients with high flavor. This flatbread features some tasty vegetables roasted and drizzled with BBQ sauce.
What is the best cheese to use on a flatbread?
The options are endless but these are my favorites:
- Gorgonzola
- Goat cheese
- Brie
- Feta
- Cheddar
How many toppings should I put on a flatbread?
Try to limit toppings to no more than 5 main items. Herbs and spices should be added to optimize flavor without taking up too much space on the flatbread.
Does BBQ sauce have too much sugar?
Most BBQ sauce does contain sugar, vinegar and tomato. However, sugar in moderation can be extremely satisfying to our palates and a great accompaniment to many dishes. If you purchase a brown sugar or honey BBQ style, they can be higher in sugar than original style sauce. If excess sugar is something you are concerned with, purchase original style vs honey or brown sugar varieties.
