Herbed cheese tomato flatbread is better made in a broiler however it can be made on the BBQ grill too!

Delicious and easy way to use those home-grown tomatoes and herbs!

Meatless Meal Or Side

I love recipes like this because they’re versatile as well as being easy.

First of all, this is a wonderful side dish or appetizer. However since it’s essentially a pizza, it can double as a meatless main dish.

Whatsmore, what better way can there be to use home-grown tomatoes if you have them or buy them seasonally at the farmer’s market? And the fresh herbs in the cheese mixture add such a great flavor–and do use fresh herbs. This flatbread wouldn’t be as good if you used the dried stuff!

Cooking Method

I found there to be a few problems, to say the least, with the cooking method in the original recipe.

Pizza dough is soft and a bit hard to handle–especially placement on an outdoor grill. My instructions for cooking the dough on the grill still doesn’t make the dough easier to handle, but at least when one side is done, it’s easier to flip. The original recipe leaves the flip side raw for some reason. Additionally, shaping the dough on the baking sheet eliminates the need to transfer it.

I also found that once you add the cheese and tomatoes (outside grill method) the flatbreads just seem to steam. Tomatoes are watery so there should be a method that evaporates some of that moisture. My broiler method does, plus it makes the tomatoes taste better and browns the edges of the dough and the cheese.

Make It Easy On Yourself

One thing I recommend from the original recipe is to use the pizza dough that comes in the tube. It’s pre-rolled so it eliminates that step.  The only reason I didn’t use it and made my own is that I forgot to pick it up at the store!!!

All you have to do with the tube stuff is unroll it and cut it in half. I have included a link to homemade dough in the recipe ingredients if you want to go that way.
