Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the flatbread
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place the flatbread on a baking sheet or pizza stone.
Spread the ricotta evenly across the surface, leaving a small border around the edges to allow the crust to crisp.

Step 2: Season the base
Sprinkle the garlic powder evenly over the ricotta.
Add a light pinch of salt and black pepper if desired.

Step 3: Add toppings
Arrange the halved cherry tomatoes evenly across the flatbread.
Drizzle lightly with olive oil, then finish with a pinch of dried herbs.

Step 4: Bake
Bake for 10 minutes, or until:
the edges are golden and crisp
the tomatoes look slightly blistered
the ricotta is warmed and lightly set

Step 5: Serve
Remove from the oven and let rest for 1–2 minutes.
Top with fresh parsley or basil if using, slice, and enjoy warm.

Tips for Best Results
For a crispier crust, bake the plain flatbread for 2–3 minutes before adding toppings.

Don’t overload the flatbread — too many toppings can make it soggy.

A drizzle of olive oil after baking adds extra flavor and shine.

Easy Variations
Protein boost: Add shredded chicken, prosciutto, or roasted chickpeas.

Spicy: Sprinkle red pepper flakes before baking.

Extra creamy: Mix ricotta with 1 teaspoon grated Parmesan before spreading.

Sweet & savory: Finish with a light drizzle of balsamic glaze after baking.

Storage & Reheating
Best eaten fresh, but leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 1 day.

Reheat in a toaster oven or skillet for best texture.

Ingredients

10 fresh mint leaves
½ medium lime, cut into 3 wedges, divided
2 tablespoons white sugar, or to taste
1 cup ice cubes, or as needed
1 ½ fluid ounces white rum
½ cup club soda, or as needed

1 flatbread (store-bought or homemade)

3 Tbsp ricotta cheese

1 tsp garlic powder

½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1–2 tsp olive oil

Pinch of dried herbs (oregano, basil, Italian seasoning)

Optional: fresh parsley or basil for topping

Optional: salt & pepper to taste

Ingredient Notes & Substitutions

Flatbread: Naan, pita, or lavash all work well. Thicker flatbreads give a softer center, thinner ones get extra crispy.

Ricotta: Whole-milk ricotta creates the creamiest texture. Low-fat works but will be slightly drier.

Garlic powder: Provides even garlic flavor without burning like fresh garlic.

Cherry tomatoes: Add sweetness and moisture. Grape tomatoes or thinly sliced Roma tomatoes are good substitutes.

Herbs: Dried herbs are convenient, but fresh herbs add brightness after baking.
