A note about serious food allergies

The difference between a flatbread and a pizza has haunted philosophers, theologians, and amateur theorists for centuries… we're talking libraries full of theory, chalkboards with nothing but equations, and at least twelve TED talks to date. But we've come up with a foolproof method to tell which is which. Are you ready? If it has apples, it’s a flatbread. Apples don't go on pizza! They do give this flatbread a darn near perfect satisfying crunch. With two cheeses, onions, walnuts, and arugula, this flatbread eschews the academia and gets right down to the flavor.

Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F

Customize It Instructions

  • Meatlovers! If adding protein, pat dry, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook with 1 tsp. olive oil in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. If using diced chicken breasts, stir occasionally until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes. If using whole chicken breasts, on a separate cutting board, cut into 1” dice. Follow same instructions as diced chicken breasts. If using flank steak, stir occasionally until no pink remains and steak reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes. Rest, 3 minutes. Add to flatbread as desired.

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Coarsely chop walnuts.

    Quarter apple and remove core. Cut quarters into thin slices.

    Halve and peel onion. Slice halves into thin strips.

  2. 2

    Caramelize the Onion

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium heat.

    Add 1 Tbsp. olive oil, onion, 1/4 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper to hot pan. Stir occasionally until browned, 10-13 minutes.

    If onion browns too quickly, add 1 Tbsp. water to pan and stir until evaporated.

    While onion caramelizes, par-bake flatbread.

  3. 3

    Par-Bake the Flatbreads

    Place flatbreads directly on rack in hot oven and toast, 5 minutes.

    While flatbreads par-bake, candy walnuts.

  4. 4

    Candy the Walnuts

    Place a small non-stick pan over medium heat. Add sugar and 2 Tbsp. water to hot pan and stir constantly until dissolved.

    Add walnuts and stir constantly until water has evaporated and walnuts are shiny and sticky, 2-3 minutes.

    Transfer walnuts to a plate and let cool, 5 minutes.

    When walnuts are cool enough to handle, break into small pieces.

    While walnuts cool, bake flatbreads.

  5. 5

    Bake Flatbreads and Finish Dish

    Place par-baked flatbreads on a clean work surface. Divide shredded cheese evenly on flatbreads, then shingle apple slices on top. Drizzle each flatbread with 1 tsp. olive oil.

    Place flatbreads directly on oven rack, with prepared baking sheet on rack below to catch any drips. Bake until flatbread is golden brown and apples are tender, 10-12 minutes.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, garnishing flatbreads with caramelized onions, walnuts, goat cheese (breaking up if necessary), and arugula. Bon appétit!
