Ingredients
  

  • 1 clove Garlic
  • 2 Flatbreads
  • 4 Campari Tomatoes
  • 2 oz Fresh Mozzarella
  • 2 oz Shredded Monterey Jack Cheese
  • 1 large bunch Fresh Arugula
  • Olive Oil
  • 3 tbsp Butter
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Vegetable Oil

Instructions
 

Prep Work

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  • Mince garlic and add to a bowl with butter and a pinch of salt. Microwave for 20 seconds, or until butter is melted. Stir well.
  • In a large bowl, add arugula, with a large drizzle of Olive Oil and salt and pepper. Mix well to coat evenly and set aside.

Making the Pizza

  • Slice the tomatoes into ¼ inch thick slices and place into a sautee pan over high heat with 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Do not overlap the tomatoes, and only put a single layer in at a time. Cook for 2 minutes per side. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Once oven is ready, brush the flatbreads evenly with the melted garlic and butter mixture and place on a baking tray into the oven for 5 minutes.
  • As the flatbreads warm, shred the Mozzarella and Monterey Jack Cheeses.
  • After 5 minutes in the oven, carefully remove the flatbread and layer the tomatoes across the tops, then sprinkle heavily with both cheeses.
  • Then, place back into the oven for 3-5 minutes, or until cheese is completely melted.
  • Once melted, remove from oven, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and then generously top off the dish with a large portion of the tossed arugula.
  • Serve whole, or sliced, and enjoy!
