Extra-sharp Cheddar cheese balances out the sweetness of the butternut squash, while the red onion adds delicious bite. To make it a meal, serve the flat bread alongside an arugula salad tossed in a simple homemade dressing. Alternatively, serve bite-sized slices on a tray or wooden cutting board at your next party.
Ingredients:
- 1 pound store-bought pizza dough, thawed if frozen
- cornmeal for the pan
- 1 pound butternut squash—peeled, seeded, and sliced 1/4 inch thick
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup pine nuts
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- kosher salt and black pepper
- 1 1/2 cups grated extra-sharp Cheddar (6 ounces)
- 1 bunch arugula, thick stems discarded (about 4 cups)
Step 1
Heat oven to 425° F. Shape the dough into a large oval and place on a cornmeal-dusted baking sheet.
Step 2
In a large bowl, toss the squash, onion, pine nuts, thyme, 1 tablespoon of the oil, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper.
Step 3
Scatter over the dough and sprinkle with the cheese. Bake until golden brown and crisp, 20 to 25 minutes.
Step 4
Toss the arugula with the remaining tablespoon of oil and ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Serve with the flat bread.Source: realsimple.com
