MUFA FLATBREADS
How about calling it the “Flat-Out Fabulous MUFA Feast”? This catchy name emphasizes the focus on monounsaturated fats (MUFAs) while also highlighting the versatility and health benefits of using whole grain flatbreads as a base. Plus, the playful tone adds a touch of fun to the meal prep (or appetizer prep) process!
Ingredients
- 1 whole grain flatbread — ie. whole wheat Naan whole wheat pita bread, whole wheat tortilla
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 clove garlic crushed
- 1 1/2 cups cooked veggies: broccoli, mushrooms, zucchini, spinach leftovers work great here!
- 1/2 cup chopped arugula and/or tomatoes
- 1/2 cup low fat cheese — any mix of mozzarella, cheddar, feta, goat, etc. or go cheeseless if desired
- 1/2 cup protein from your fridge or pantry: chopped, cooked chicken, white beans, cooked lean steak, cooked shrimp, etc.
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- optional garnish: fresh basil leaves
Instructions
- Preheat broiler on low. Place flatbread on a baking sheet, lined with nonstick foil.
- Brush flatbread with olive oil. Mix veggies with garlic and spread veggies, protein and cheese evenly on top of your flatbread, with cheese on top.
- Place in oven and broil for 2–3 minutes, or until cheese begins to brown.
- Makes one main dish serving or 4-6 appetizer servings.
Notes
Makes one main dish serving, but feel free to double, triple, quadruple, as needed. This flatbread also works well as an appetizer!
