Meyer Lemon, Kale, and Goat Cheese Flatbread


Meyer Lemon, Kale, and Goat Cheese Flatbread-this easy flatbread makes a great lunch, dinner, or party appetizer! 



I love this flatbread because the ingredients are simple, but so flavorful! I used kale, Meyer lemons, and goat cheese. The combo is amazing! Meyer lemons are sweeter and not as tart as regular lemons. They give the flatbread the perfect burst of citrus and I love the creamy goat cheese and crispy kale! I like to add a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes for a bit of heat, but you can leave it off if you don’t like spice. I always leave Caleb’s section plain.

This simple flatbread is great for those nights when you aren’t in the mood to cook, but still want and crave a delicious dinner. It would also be good for lunch or as a party appetizer! It really is good anytime of the day, even for breakfast. It is rare for us to have leftovers, but if we do, I have been known to eat a slice as soon as I wake up! I love this Meyer Lemon, Kale, and Goat Cheese Flatbread and hope you do too! I promise it is worth 30 minutes of your day!

cook time: 12-14 MINUTES
total time: 30 MINUTES

INGREDIENTS:


  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 packed cups chopped kale, ribs removed (I used Dino/Tuscan kale)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh Meyer lemon juice
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 Stonefire Whole Grain Tandoor Baked Naan Flatbreads
  • Olive oil, for brushing breads
  • 4 ounces goat cheese
  • 1-2 Meyer lemons, thinly sliced
  • Crushed red pepper, if desired

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. In a medium skillet, heat 2 teaspoons olive oil. Add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Add the chopped kale and fresh lemon juice. Season with salt and black pepper and cook until kale is tender and wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
  3. Place the Naan flatbreads on a large baking sheet. Brush each flatbread with a little bit of olive oil. Sprinkle chunks of goat cheese evenly over the breads. Top with cooked kale and lemon slices. You will want 3-4 lemon slices for each flatbread. Sprinkle crushed red pepper over the flatbreads, if using
  4. Place baking sheet in preheated oven and cook for 12-14 minutes, or until cheese is melted. Remove from oven and cut into pieces. Serve warm.
  5. Note-I like to eat the lemon, but you can always remove it. It will still add great flavor!
