How to Make Cheeseburger Flatbreads

Step 1: Prepare the Flatbreads

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Brush the edges of the flatbreads with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Par-bake the flatbreads for 10 minutes to crisp up the crust.

Step 2: Cook the Ground Beef

While the flatbreads are par-baking, heat a sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until browned. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Drain off any excess grease.

Step 3: Melt the Cheese

Add the sliced American cheese to the pan with the cooked ground beef and stir until melted and combined.

Step 4: Assemble the Flatbreads

Drizzle ketchup and mustard in a zigzag pattern over the center of each par-baked flatbread. Top with the grated mozzarella cheese, followed by the ground beef mixture, sliced red onions, and sliced tomatoes.

Step 5: Bake

Bake the flatbreads in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crusts are golden brown.

Step 6: Garnish and Serve

Remove the flatbreads from the oven and garnish with garlic aioli, sliced pickles, and baby arugula. Slice into wedges and serve immediately.
