This recipe is one of my new favorites that I discovered in Christine Ha’s Recipes from My Home Kitchen cookbook that she put out after winning MasterChef season 3. Did anyone watch episode 1 of MasterChef season 7 yet? I think it started last week maybe? I’m kind of hit or miss on the cooking shows I’ll watch, but as long as MasterChef is still running, I’ll still be watching! Maybe I have a tiny crush on Gordon, I don’t know…

These flatbreads have more ingredients than I normally like to use in a dinner recipe, but a lot of them are pantry staples or otherwise just easy ingredients you can find in no time at the grocery store. I was afraid after looking at the recipe that it would take me over an hour to make, but the whole recipe was done in only 30 minutes! Once you get the dough made, everything else can be whipped up during it’s resting period then made and thrown in the oven. On busy days, I’m all about a meal that I can prep, make, eat, and clean-up in under an hour.

Trust me, the flavors in this indian inspired flatbread are going to blow your mind. Who knew that you can make a “pizza sauce” out of heavy cream and cilantro and it’s basically the best thing that you’ve ever tasted?? Also, don’t leave out the fried egg on top; it’s the cherry on top!
