Grilled Flatbreads with Pear, Arugula, and Goat Cheese

Amazing and a perfect flavor combination.

This flatbread uses a home-made pizza dough (I used our usual dough, not the recipe given here). You roll it as thin as you can, and prebake it. Then, a layer of whole grain mustard (weird, I know, but it works), a layer of goat cheese, a layer of caramelized onions, and pears. You cook it till the cheese is melted, and then pile on arugula dressed in a simple vinaigrette.

Crunchy, sweet, salty, this recipe hits all the right notes. Kids and adults were all blown away by this one. So simple, and so perfect. This might be that one recipe that makes the book worth buying (or, in my case, worth getting from the library).

I served this with the smoky red lentil soup and it made an excellent meal.

That said, this is an easy recipe and you could prepare it based on my simple description.
