Yield: 8 servings
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 1 tablespoon olive oil; 2 pieces flatbread, such as pita or naan; 1/2 cup white cheddar, shredded; 6 to 8 slices bacon, crispy cooked; 12 cherry tomatoes, halved; 1 heaping cup romaine or iceberg lettuce, shredded; 1/2 avocado, peeled, pitted and thinly sliced; 1/8 red onion, thinly sliced; salt and pepper, to taste

Crispy grilled flatbreads loaded with all the classic BLT flavors plus creamy avocado and melted white cheddar. The bread gets perfectly charred on the grill while the cheese melts into golden bubbles. Fresh cherry tomatoes, crisp lettuce, and buttery avocado create the perfect balance of textures. Great for casual dinners, weekend lunches, or when you want sandwich flavors in a shareable format. The grilling adds a smoky depth that sets this apart from typical flatbread pizzas.

Tips

Tip 1

Cook bacon ahead of time and keep warm - it's easier than trying to time everything on the grill.

Tip 2

Don't overload the flatbread with toppings or it will become soggy and hard to handle.

Tip 3

Add the fresh toppings immediately after grilling so the warm bread slightly wilts the lettuce.

Good to Know

Storage

Best served immediately. Leftovers can be refrigerated for 1 day but will lose crispness.

Make Ahead

Cook bacon and prep vegetables up to 4 hours ahead. Assemble just before grilling.

Serve With

Serve immediately while flatbread is warm and crispy. Cut into wedges for sharing.

Common Mistakes

Watch

Keep grill at medium heat to avoid burning the bread before cheese melts

Watch

Don't add fresh toppings before final grilling or they will burn

FAQ

Can I make this in the oven instead of on the grill?

Yes, bake at 450°F for 5-7 minutes, then add cheese and bacon and bake 3-4 minutes more until cheese melts.

What if I don't have flatbread?

Use tortillas, pizza dough, or even thick slices of sourdough bread. Adjust cooking time as needed.

How long will this keep in the refrigerator?

Best eaten fresh, but assembled flatbreads will keep 1 day refrigerated. Reheat in oven to restore some crispness.
