Pork Sausage Pesto Flatbreads
with Tomatoes & Mozz
- Milk
- Sesame
- Wheat
Tomato, mozzarella, and pesto. This is a classic combination for a reason: These ingredients taste amazing together! And that’s especially true for these quick and easy flatbreads that have juicy Italian sausage joining the party. This meal is as simple as baking the flatbreads till they’re crisp, spreading them with a creamy white sauce, then layering on marinated tomatoes and crumbled sausage. Drizzle on some pesto, sprinkle with mozz, a quick trip in the oven, and boom! Dinner is ready. You’ll have plenty of extra time to enjoy that well-deserved glass of wine.

Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Finely dice tomatoes. Peel and mince or grate garlic. • Place tomatoes in a medium bowl; season with a big pinch of salt and pepper.
• In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine cream cheese, garlic, 3 TBSP water (4 TBSP for 4 servings), and a big pinch of salt and pepper. Microwave for 30 seconds. Stir to combine (you’ll use it in the next step).
• Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium 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 plate, reserving fat in pan. • Return pan to medium heat. Sprinkle flour over pan; whisk to combine. Cook for 1 minute, whisking continuously (a few lumps are okay). Remove pan from heat. Add cream cheese mixture and whisk until smooth.
• Place flatbreads on a baking sheet; brush tops of each flatbread with a drizzle of olive oil. Toast on top rack until golden, 3-4 minutes. (For 4 servings, divide between two baking sheets; toast on top and middle racks.)
• Once flatbreads are toasted, remove from oven. Heat broiler to high or oven to 500 degrees. • Carefully spread sauce over flatbreads; top with seasoned tomatoes to taste (draining first) and sausage. Massage the pesto packet for 5 seconds; snip the corner and lightly drizzle flatbreads with pesto to taste. Evenly sprinkle with mozzarella. • Broil or bake until cheese melts and flatbreads are golden brown, 3-5 minutes. (For 4 servings, broil or bake in batches.) TIP: Watch carefully to avoid burning.
• Allow flatbreads to cool slightly, then slice each into quarters. Serve.
Pork Sausage is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 160º.

Review summary
Updated on Feb 2026- Flavor: Many loved the combination of pesto, sausage, and tomatoes, though some found the pesto overpowering 🍕.
- Ease of prep: Quick and easy to make, but watch broiling time carefully to avoid burning the flatbread.
- Suggestions: Consider using less pesto, adding more cheese, or trying chicken instead of sausage for a lighter option.
- Portions: Generous servings that often provided leftovers; some found it filling enough for lunch rather than dinner.
- Texture: Crispy flatbread was praised, but a few noted it could get soggy from excess oil or sauce.
Reviews from our home cooks
These were delicious!! The pesto/cream cheese/sausage combo was different but definitely unique and ended up turning out great. These crisped up perfectly and reheat super well in the oven to retain crispiness. I also love that you guys had us season the tomatoes before baking, it made such a difference in terms of flavor!!
Great recipe, I loved the basil pesto and the sweet Italian pork sausage. Easy to make, just keep a close eye on the flatbread
Delicious! Middle does get soggy... I should have toasted flatbread for longer than the 3-4 minutes on the recipe. The sauce plus pesto made the middle not as crispy once weighed down with sausage tomatoes and cheese. But very good!
I love the flatbreads! This was another good one and the pesto was a nice addition. I think it's unnecessary to add oil to baking sheet when cooking the sausage as it gets too greasy and a bit dangerous in the oven. Overall, very good.
Bread was delicious! Pesto was fun combination with sweet Italian sausage - so it all combine very well!! We added a bit more cheese to it
Incredible flatbreads! Now one of our all time favorites! The pesto and cheese combo with the delicious sausage is perfect! Huge serving size too!
This was so fantastic. The flavors were so fresh with the pesto and very filling with the sausage. All the flavors complemented each other perfectly. A hit with the family for sure
Yummy hot or cold. Nicely seasoned sausage and a decent amount of cheese on top. The pesto really put it over the top!
I'm a sucker for any flatbread. The description on this meal is what sold me. I love pesto and I love flatbread, too. This is better than any pizza.
I think the flatbread recipes are easy and very tasty. This one could be improved with higher quality meat and produce. The tomatoes were nearly rotten and the "mix" sausage blend could just be good Italian sausage, either whole for slicing diagonally or ground Italian sausage. Also the white sauce is way too runny with 3 tablespoons of water, could be improved.
