Caprese Inspired Flatbread Sandwich recipe

Caprese Inspired Flatbread Sandwich

This sandwich is perfect for caprese salad lovers. It features flaxseed flatbread filled with fresh mozzarella, basil pesto, and tomatoes, all drizzled with a tangy balsamic glaze. It makes a delicious and satisfying sandwich that’s both healthy and full of flavor. The basil pesto is homemade with walnuts and fresh basil leaves, which are rich in antioxidants. Basil is a versatile herb that you can use in many dishes, and it’s easy to grow at home. The fresh mozzarella has a creamy texture that goes well with tomatoes, while the balsamic glaze adds a touch of sweetness, acidity, and balance to the richness of the cheese and pesto. This is a great way to enjoy the flavors of summer any time of the year.

Tip

Our flatbread can be made in advance and stored in the freezer. When ready to use, thaw them on the countertop or individually in the microwave for 8 to 10 seconds.
