Description

This Three Cheese Pesto Spinach Flatbread Pizza is loaded with melty mozzarella, creamy ricotta, and nutty Parmesan on top of a crisp flatbread crust with flavorful basil pesto and fresh spinach. It’s an easy, crowd-pleasing recipe that comes together in 20 minutes!


Ingredients

  • 2 flatbreads or naan (store-bought or homemade)

  • 1/4 cup basil pesto

  • 1 cup baby spinach, roughly chopped

  • 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese

  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional, for brushing crust)

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • Optional toppings: red pepper flakes, crushed walnuts, or a drizzle of balsamic glaze


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place flatbreads on a baking sheet.

  2. Spread a layer of pesto evenly over each flatbread.

  3. Distribute chopped spinach evenly over the pesto.

  4. Top with mozzarella cheese, dollops of ricotta, and sprinkle with Parmesan.

  5. Brush the edges of the flatbread with olive oil, if desired, for a golden crust.

  6. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges are crispy.

  7. Remove from oven, season with salt and pepper, and top with optional garnishes like red pepper flakes or balsamic drizzle. Slice and serve warm.

 



Notes

  • Use store-bought pesto or homemade – either works great.

  • Add cooked chicken, mushrooms, or sun-dried tomatoes for extra flavor.

  • Easily make it vegetarian by checking your pesto ingredients.
