Bacon, Brussels and Blue Cheese Flatbread: pizza for two in under 30 minutes!
Ingredients + Notes:
- Gluten Free Flatbread:
- Use your favorite store bought flatbread, naan or pizza base OR
- Make your own homemade bread base!
- Gluten Free Naan Flatbread – Super soft & pliable thanks to the greek yoghurt.
- Gluten Free Pita Bread – The same as the naan recipe above, but baked at a super high heat to create a lighter, bread with a puffed up pocket.
- Gluten Free Pizza Dough – Divide the dough into 4-6 portions and freeze what you don’t use to make later
- Chickpea Flour Flatbread – Made with chickpea flour and tapioca flour for a grain free option.
- Bacon – one slice per flatbread, but you can add more if you like
- Brussles Sprouts – shred or slice thinly to ensure it cooks quickly
- Shallot – if needed, use 1/4 of a white onion instead
- Almonds – you can swap these out for walnuts, pecans or pine nuts
- Bleu Cheese – Goats cheese would also be great here.

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C). Lightly grease or line a large baking sheet with baking paper.
- Prep Flatbread: Place 2 flatbreads/naan on the baking sheet then brush the top of each flatbread with 1 tsp olive oil and set aside.
- Cook the bacon in a small skillet over a medium heat until crispy then remove from the pan (leave the bacon fat in the pan) and set aside on a cutting board for a few minutes.
- Shallots & Sprouts: Add the shallot to the pan and sauté in the remaining bacon fat over a medium-low heat for a few minutes until soft then add the sprouts and chopped almonds to the pan. Cook another 1-2 minutes to wilt the brussles sprouts leaves then remove from the heat. Taste and season with salt and pepper as you see fit.
- Assemble Flatbreads: Divide the brussels sprouts mixture evenly between the flatbread then top with crumbled blue cheese.
- Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes until the edges of the flatbread are slightly golden and brown. Let cool for a few minutes then slice and serve.

I think Christmas shopping is the worst part of Christmas. I get stressed out too as I always worry that they are not going to like the gift. My hubby is a great gift giver! Jealous. But then again he only buys my gift and I have to get everyone else’s. This flatbread is the bomb! I love sprouts roasted in the oven with a little lemon juice!
