Did you know that Ancient Romans ate arugula for good luck? Hmm, and all this time we’ve just been enjoying this leafy green because it’s delicious! We especially love fresh arugula as a topping on these flatbreads; its peppery bite is a great match for all the other ingredients like sweet red pepper spread, melty mozz, and garlic-marinated tomato. The balsamic glaze drizzled on top adds a tangy sweetness that’s just chef’s kiss. Those Romans must’ve been onto something because we’re definitely feeling lucky to have this for dinner!

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Cooking Steps

Prep & Toast
1

• Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Dice tomato. Peel and mince garlic. • Place flatbreads on a baking sheet. (For 4, divide flatbreads between two sheets; toast on top and middle racks, swapping rack positions halfway through.) Brush each flatbread all over with a drizzle of olive oil. Toast on top rack until golden, 8-10 minutes.

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add sausage and cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes. Turn off heat. Using a slotted spoon, transfer sausage to a paper- towel-lined plate.

Make Toppings
2

• Meanwhile, combine tomato, garlic, and a drizzle of olive oil in a small bowl. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. • In a medium bowl, toss arugula with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.

Assemble Flatbreads
3

• Heat broiler to high. Carefully spread toasted flatbreads with red pepper spread. Top with tomato and garlic. Broil until tomato and garlic are softened, 3-5 minutes. (For 4 servings, broil in batches.) • Remove flatbreads from oven. Carefully sprinkle with mozzarella. Broil until cheese melts, 1-2 minutes more. TIP: Watch carefully to avoid burning.

Sprinkle flatbreads with sausage along with mozzarella.

Finish & Serve
4

• Allow flatbreads to cool slightly, then slice each into quarters. Top with arugula and drizzle with balsamic glaze. Serve.

Freshest ingredients we've eaten in awhile! The blend of flavors was fantastic, and the chicken sausage add-on was a tasty way to meet our dietary desires.

This was very good! The first time I made it, I followed the instructions carefully and the flatbread burned quickly while broiling. The next time I adjusted the rack lower and used low broil instead of the suggestion of hi broil. Turned out much better.

This was really good--the red pepper sauce was a nice change from tomato sauce, and the chicken sausage made it perfect!

Flavor was great, loved all the components. The bake time varied for our oven so I would recommend keeping a close eye and adjusting time/temp as needed.

This meal is really small. More like a snack, especially if you do not opt for a protein.

Quick and tasty but next time I will not cook it on broil, too much heat!

The only thing that would make it even more delicious is a slightly thinner crust.
