Smoked Gouda and Broccoli Flatbreads Recipe (2024)

This is a lunch favorite for us. I like to heat olive oil with a clove of garlic, red pepper flakes and some Za'tar, let it cool, and use the flavored oil to make these flatbread "pizzas".

Eat your heart out, Angelo’s! I grieved for your abandoned Pizza Bianca, but no more. Used Gouda and havarti, added thin sliced Roma tomatoes. Glorious!

I felt an urge to improve this simple flatbread. Garlic! Red pepper flakes! More garlic! But then I just said, "STOP." The simple things...the broccoli, the salt and pepper and olive oil. Just let that speak for itself. Gotta tell you. Sometimes simple is best. Delicious with the broccoli and the gouda shining through mingling together in a crunchy creamy way with the bite of the scallions. This is good. This is good in a very broccoli-gouda-scallion on a crispy flatbread way. This. Is a Keeper.

Heat olive oil with a clove of garlic, red pepper flakes and some Za'tar, let it cool, and use the flavored oil to make these flatbread "pizzas".

chopped broccoli for 20 minutes at 400 degrees = well cooked, even crispy, so 10 minutes at 450 should be just perfect

Made it vegan with Daiya vegan Smoked Gouda. Was a massive hit, so much so that I am making it tonight as we ring in the New Year and celebrate meeting 18 years ago.

Cooked longer than 8 to 10 minutes to cook broccoli more.

"Feel free to adapt with what you have: [...] for the broccoli, substitute spinach, kale, thinly sliced brussels sprouts or another quick-cooking vegetable" - from the intro to the recipe, last sentence

Since my wife doesn't love broccoli, I substituted chopped brussel sprouts. It was delicious!

Add a generous pinch of dried hot red pepper flakes to mix and more scallions! I use thin pre-baked pizza crusts.

Could use some garlic or red pepper flakes. We added spicy honey drizzle we had on hand after cooking.

Use OG kristal Gouda, not smoked. So much better.

I ended up using baby broccoli and regular Gouda and used finely diced onions since I couldn’t find scallions. Served with a salad and made a great mea!

Add garlic

This is easy and really delicious! We added the garlic warmed in olive oil as was suggested and it really made it special. I would stick to flatbread rather than pita since the filling has some weight.

This has become a favorite quick dinner for us. Delicious made just as written!

I couldn’t get smoked Gouda so used smoked cheddar. I could only get pita bread and didn’t like that part much. As per suggestions I added garlic and red pepper flakes but am not sure they were good additions. I think it would have been fine as written. I would add lemon juice if I make it again because I thought it needed a little brightening. Twenty minutes at 400 was too long and browned it too much.

Surprisingly good going straight off the recipe. Could definitely change things up but not at all needed.

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is how you get a three year old to eat broccoli and like it.

Delicious! Used puff pastry for the base instead of flatbread. Also, added some shrimp and jalapeños to the broccoli mixture.

Delicious and super fast for a busy weeknight dinner. I added minced garlic underneath everything for extra flavor and used broccoli rabe instead of broccoli because I think it goes better with Gouda.

Made this, but substituted Asiago bc that’s what I had on hand. Good! However my husband added it could have used some crispy bacon or pancetta on top!

Just tried this recipe for the first time and we loved it. I agree with other commenters who said to avoid the temptation to modify this recipe or add other ingredients. In this case simple certainly is best. I used this recipe with homemade flatbread - I found a recipe that made no-yeast flatbread in just a few minutes and it worked out beautifully.
