With this Greek Herb & Cheese Flatbread, no one will ever think of Meatless Monday as boring. The dough can be made in advance, so then it’s just to add some delicious toppings and bake or grill it.
Looking for a delicious and interesting way to transform your holiday leftovers? How about putting them on top of a delicious flatbread? I used some broccoli on this flatbread, but maybe you have some leftovers roasted or sauteed mushrooms. Any vegetable like bell peppers, zucchini, eggplant, mushrooms, spinach can be used instead of the broccoli and tomatoes in this recipe.
Once you have the base dough made, then this comes together quite easily.
In my cold winter apartment, the dough took about 2 hours to rise, but it may take less depending on the climate where you live.
