Cooking Steps
-
Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce.
-
Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion.
-
Place flatbreads, dimpled sides down, on a baking sheet. (For 4 servings, divide flatbreads between two baking sheets.) Rub tops with a drizzle of olive oil; season with salt and pepper. TIP: Line the baking sheet with foil first for easy cleanup!
-
Toast on top rack until golden brown and crisp, 3-5 minutes. (For 4, toast on top and middle racks, swapping rack positions halfway through.)
-
Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add sausage* and onion. Cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until sausage is browned and cooked through and onion is softened, 4-6 minutes.
-
Once flatbreads are toasted, remove sheet from oven. Carefully flip flatbreads dimpled sides up; evenly spread with marinara and sprinkle with mozzarella. Top with sausage and onion.
-
Return flatbreads to top rack and bake until cheese melts and flatbread edges are golden brown, 5-6 minutes. (For 4 servings, bake on top and middle racks, swapping rack positions halfway through.)
-
Once flatbreads are done, drizzle with as much pesto and balsamic glaze as you like.
-
Slice flatbreads as desired. Divide between plates and serve.

Review summary
Updated on Sep 2026- Flavor: The pesto and balsamic glaze combo was a crowd-pleaser 🎉; some found the balsamic too sweet or the pesto too strong, so drizzle both to taste.
- Ease of prep: This comes together quickly with minimal chopping, making it a great weeknight flatbread option.
- Suggestions: Add extra marinara — several reviewers felt the provided amount wasn't enough to cover both flatbreads generously. If the chicken sausage tastes salty, balance it by going lighter on any added salt.
- Leftovers: One reviewer successfully froze a second flatbread for another time, and it held up well.
