speed eating (and cooking)

This is a new favorite meal when time is not on my side - 5 ingredients - 10 minutes - tons of flavor.  Love that.  A friend recently made this for lunch and I've repeated it multiple times since.  If you want to add a bit more protein pick up a roasted chicken and just chop for an additional topping.



You'll just need the following:

Flatbread (naan, pita bread or a pre-made thin pizza crust like Boboli all work great)
Fresh baby spinach leaves
Tomato Basil crumbled feta
Cherry tomatoes, sliced in half and seasoned w/ s+p
Reduced fat shredded cheese (I like a combination of mozzarella and sharp cheddar)

To assemble, preheat the oven to 400 degrees.  Spread a generous handful of spinach leaves across the flatbread. Sprinkle the crumbled feta and cherry tomatoes over the spinach, and then top with the shredded cheese - as much or as little as you like.  That's what I love about this recipe - you get away with minimal guilt calories by omitting oils and using a reduced fat shredded cheese.  The feta adds so much flavor and richness you just won't miss it.

Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the flatbread is crisp. 

enJOY!
