Lemony Brussels Sprouts Flatbread

This recipe looks delicious, at least it does to us. I want to say it was all my idea, but I feel like I have to give my daughter a little credit. As a college student, she is all about ordering things online, and food is no exception. One weekend day, Jackie and I came home and were hit with an intoxicating, yet familiar smell of sautéed Brussels sprouts. We wanted to think that lunch was ready and on the table for us as we returned.

We were soon disappointed to find out that lunch wasn’t specifically for us, but rather a meal she was experimenting with for herself from a meal prep online site. She was kind enough to let us sample the vegetarian flatbread she prepared, and as we were eating it my mind started racing, coming up with ways to make this recipe even better. The end result is this Lemony Brussels Sprouts Flatbread.

Superman Cooks tip: use a store bought flatbread crust & bake it on the oven rack for a deliciously crispy crust

I love this meal because it is so simple, but so full of flavor. We used a store bought crust, layering it with ricotta cheese, sautéed Brussels sprouts, lemon zest, and a nice long drizzle of honey. It's a meal in itself, or a satisfying appetizer. We just can't get enough.
