Flatbread Pizza with Bacon, Fried Egg and Spinach

A few weeks ago I had flatbread as an appetizer at a restaurant and didn’t really enjoy it. The edges lacked crunch and the middle was too thin for my preference.

So I decided to make my own. I always knew flatbread wasn’t too hard to make. I just didn’t get around to it until now.

Once I made the flatbread, I rummaged around the fridge for toppings. Mozzarella cheese, bacon and spinach. And Mr. K loves when flatbreads are served with a cracked egg on top, so I made sure to include that as well.

I was pretty happy with how this flatbread pizza came out. The crust was super crunchy and not too thin. The spinach and bacon made a delicious combination. And fried eggs are good on almost anything.

As a quick reminder, there’s still time to enter my mug cake mix and mug set giveaway here.

  1. Looks great, added goats cheese would taste really nice with this!:)

  2. Ooh looks yummy! I love the eggs on top 🙂 Did you use a regular baking sheet or a special flatbread stone?

    • I used a regular baking sheet. I have a stone which I usually use but I was too lazy to take it out and it still worked well on the regular baking sheet.
