How to Make Cheesy Flatbreads

Step 1: Preheat and Combine

Preheat your oven to broil at 500°F (260°C). In a medium bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 2: Assemble and Broil

Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the flatbreads. Place the flatbreads on a baking sheet and broil for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden brown.

Step 3: Serve

Remove the cheesy flatbreads from the oven and serve immediately while they’re warm and the cheese is gooey.

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Use high-quality cheese: The better the quality of your cheese, the better the flavor of the flatbreads.
Don’t overbroil: Keep a close eye on the flatbreads while they’re broiling, as they can burn quickly. Broil just until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Customize the toppings: Feel free to add other toppings, such as chopped green onions, diced tomatoes, or crumbled bacon.
