There was actually a time in my life that I had a slice of pizza every. single. day. I am really dating myself here, but when I was in high school, a $1.50 would buy me a slice of pizza, a small drink and a brownie. So, there you have it. For four years, that was my lunch and I couldn’t have been any happier.
Of course, as I got older, I realized that eating pizza every day may not be so kind to the waistline and I started coming up with twists on my dear old favorite. You may have noticed that I post lots of pics of flatbread creations that my family enjoys. Flatbreads are the new pizza in my life. They are thinner, crispy and I love adding veggies to them. One of my favorite ways to prepare them is by topping them with a salad on top.
You may remember I posted some really delicious ones this past year – Roasted Brussels Sprouts Flatbread, Strawberry Basil Goat Cheese Flatbread, Asparagus Chicken Flatbread, Strawberry Mozzarella Flatbread? These flatbread are so fun and a great way to lighten up a traditional pizza with new flavors.
This recipe for Tomato Goat Cheese and Arugula Flatbread is absolutely delicious and the arugula is such an awesome topping. If you have ever tried honey and goat cheese, you are in for a treat when you drizzle this lemon honey dressing on top. Speaking of things that I can eat every day — arugula has become a new favorite at my house. I have become a little bit obsessed. Hey, if you have to crave something every day, there certainly are worst things.
- 1 thin flatbread
- 5 tablespoons tomato sauce
- 3 slices mozzarella cheese
- 2 plum tomatoes, sliced thin
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 large sprig of oregano
- 2 ounces goat cheese, cut into small pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- juice from ½ lemon
- fresh ground sea salt and pepper to taste
- ½ cup arugula
- Preheat oven to 375 º
- Spread the tomato sauce over the flatbread and place on a pizza pan or baking sheet.
- Place the mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce and layer the plum tomatoes on top.
- Reserve 3 slices of the plum tomatoes.
- Sprinkle with garlic salt and ½ of the oregano leaves.
- Place small pieces of goat cheese in each of the tomatoes.
- Bake for approximately 10 to 15 minutes or until the flatbread is crispy and cheese is bubbling.
- In the meantime, combine and whisk the lemon, olive oil, honey and salt and pepper in a small bowl until well blended.
- Chop the 3 slices of tomatoes.
- Remove the flatbread from the oven and add the arugula and chopped tomato on top on top.
- Drizzle the lemon and honey dressing over the arugula.
- Sprinkle with additional goat cheese if desired.

January 4, 2015 at 7:33 amThis looks to die for. I’ve been trying to make some flatbread, so I’m hoping to try this recipe out once I have some success!
FamilyFoodie
January 4, 2015 at 9:28 amThanks so much. Let me know how it turns out!
Katie
January 4, 2015 at 9:58 amYeah – I’m going to require this flatbread in my life. Arugula and goat cheese are two of my favorite things in general…and a crispy crust just takes it to another level of awesome!
FamilyFoodie
January 4, 2015 at 11:24 pmThanks Katie! What is it about Arugula and goat cheese… so good!
Stacy
January 4, 2015 at 10:15 amThis is my perfect pizza, Isabel. The thinner the crust, the better as far as I am concerned. Guess I should have been making flatbread all along. 🙂 Gorgeous colors and flavors too!
FamilyFoodie
January 4, 2015 at 11:24 pmThanks Stacy – I agree love a nice crispy crust.
Wendy (The Weekend Gourmet)
January 4, 2015 at 10:21 amWe love pizza too, but have trying to transition to thinner crusts to save calories where we can. I can’t wait to surprise hubby with this fun flatbread!
FamilyFoodie
January 4, 2015 at 11:23 pmLet me know how hubby likes it Wendy!
Lea Ann
January 4, 2015 at 1:12 pmI love this combination and have had something very similar. Please tell me, where did you get the flatbread? I’ve never seen anything thin for purchase. I’d love to find it.
FamilyFoodie
January 4, 2015 at 11:23 pmLea Ann – I used the Flatout Flatbread. They are great!
Susan P. (@littleredkitchn)
January 4, 2015 at 2:07 pmI so want tomato season to come back so I can enjoy this flatbread!
FamilyFoodie
January 4, 2015 at 11:22 pmI love tomatoes and would put them on everything!

January 4, 2015 at 2:44 pmI go weak in the knees for delicious flatbreads. Any recommendations on how to help achieve success in making flatbread at home?

January 4, 2015 at 3:51 pmWhat a great idea for a fun and healthier pizza. I, too, adore arugula especially on a pizza.
FamilyFoodie

The Wimpy Vegetarian
January 4, 2015 at 4:00 pmI used to have a big mac, fries, and coke every day when I was in college – it cost $1.01 for the whole thing. So now I’m really dating myself too. And like you, eventually I realized this wasn’t such a great idea for my weight. I’m a HUGE fan of flatbreads, the new skinny pizza. They’re perfect for getting lots of veggies into the diet and vegetable purees. Love this, and your photo is gorgeous!
FamilyFoodie
January 4, 2015 at 11:21 pmI love that I am not alone — and love that I am not the only one dating myself!
