Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place 1 large flatbread on the sheet.
Step 2: In a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp olive oil with 1 minced garlic clove. Brush this garlic oil evenly over the flatbread surface.
Step 3: Arrange 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes on one half of the flatbread, seasoning with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp optional red pepper flakes.
Step 4: On the other half, layer 4 oz sliced fresh mozzarella evenly.
Step 5: Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes until the mozzarella melts and the edges of the flatbread are golden and crisp.
Step 6: Remove from oven and immediately scatter 10 torn fresh basil leaves on top. Let cool for 2 minutes before slicing and serving.
