Cooking Steps

Prep & Mix Ricotta
1
  • Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce.

  • Zest and quarter lemon. Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion. Roughly chop dates into bite-size pieces. Strip rosemary leaves from stems; finely chop leaves. Roughly chop pistachios.

  • In a small bowl, combine ricotta, juice from two lemon wedges (four wedges for 4), garlic powder, a large drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Start Bacon Topping
2
  • Slice bacon crosswise into ½-inch pieces.
  • Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add bacon and onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until bacon begins to crisp and onion begins to soften, 4-5 minutes.

Toast Flatbreads
3
  • Meanwhile, place flatbreads directly on top rack of oven and toast until golden, 5-6 minutes.

  • Carefully remove from oven and transfer to a baking sheet, dimpled sides up. (For 4 servings, divide flatbreads between two baking sheets.)

Finish Bacon Topping
4
  • To pan with bacon and onion, add dates, 2 tsp rosemary, and ⅓ cup water (4 tsp rosemary and ½ cup water for 4 servings). Season with pepper. (If pan seems dry, add another drizzle of olive oil.)

  • Cook, stirring occasionally, until water has mostly evaporated and onions and dates are softened, 2-3 minutes. Turn off heat.

Assemble Flatbreads
5
  • Spread ricotta mixture over flatbreads. Top with caramelized bacon mixture, sprinkle with feta, and drizzle with olive oil.

  • Bake flatbreads on top rack until crispy and feta is lightly browned, 7-10 minutes. (For 4 servings, bake on top and middle racks, swapping rack positions halfway through.)

Make Salad
6
  • While flatbreads bake, in a large bowl, whisk together vinegar, a large drizzle of olive oil, and ⅛ tsp sugar (¼ tsp for 4 servings) until sugar has dissolved.

  • Add mixed greens and pistachios; toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper.

Finish & Serve
7
  • Squeeze juice from remaining lemon wedges over flatbreads; sprinkle with lemon zest and as much remaining rosemary as you like.

  • Quarter flatbreads. Top with some salad and serve with remaining salad on the side. TIP: Like things a little spicy? Sprinkle the flatbreads with chili flakes from your pantry!

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavor: Sweet and savory flavors combined beautifully, though some found it a bit too sweet. Consider reducing dates or sugar for a more balanced taste.
  • Ease of prep: Very easy to make, with most finding it quick to prepare. One reviewer noted it felt like a lot of work.
  • Suggestions: Try drizzling hot honey over the flatbread before serving for an extra flavor kick 🍯. Consider using less water when cooking the bacon mixture.
  • Portions: Some found the bacon flavor subtle; others felt it added too much grease. Adjust bacon quantity to personal preference.
  • Tweaks: For less sweetness, reduce dates or omit sugar. If rosemary is too strong, use it sparingly or substitute with a milder herb.
