Cauliflower, Onion & Blue Cheese Flatbread Recipe

Need a healthy appetizer or snack? This flatbread uses local, in-season foods you can find at the Farmers Market, even through this cold weather.

I went to Headhouse Square and picked up Birchhill Farms Blue cheese, red onions and a Romanesco cauliflower (due to the sheer size of that monster veggie) a couple of Sundays ago.

For Thanksgiving, I brought this cauliflower flatbread as an appetizer and can confirm that it was family approved. The best part? It didn’t take me super-long to whip together, and was less time-consuming than the other butternut squash flatbread I made.

Cauliflower, Onion & Blue Cheese Flatbread Recipe

Serves 2-3 people per flatbread.

Ingredients:

Flatbread or Naan
Cauliflower (I used the Romanesco cauliflower variety)
Onions
Blue Cheese
Olive Oil or cooking oil.
Walnuts (optional)

Method:

Steam the cauliflower for 5 minutes to maintain crispness. After steaming, chop into small pieces.
Sauté onions for 5 minutes in Olive Oil. Your other option is to caramelize them.
Cover the flatbread with blue cheese, cauliflower and onions. Add walnuts if desired.
Serve.
