Serves: 4-6

Ingredients

1 flatbread, large pre-baked

3-4 slices prosciutto

1/2 cup arugula

2 tablespoons shaved parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon balsamic glaze

1 garlic clove, chopped

1 shallot, chopped

Salt & pepper

Instructions

Pre heat oven to 400 degrees. In a large frying pan, sauté garlic and shallot in oil and season with salt and pepper. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes. Once shallot and garlic are cooked take off heat and set aside. Take your flatbread and brush olive oil all over it. Make sure the whole flatbread is coated with olive oil. Evenly spread the cooked shallot and garlic onto flatbread. Place flatbread in oven and cook for about 10-15 minutes, or util flatbread is a golden color. After flatbread is cooked take it out of the oven. Place arugula on top, followed by prosciutto (I tore the prosciutto into long strips) and sprinkle with shaved parmesan cheese. Lastly, drizzle top of flatbread with balsamic glaze. Enjoy!
