Bacon & Blue Cheese Flatbread

Every now and then, I get some free time to really take in some of my favorite Chicago neighborhoods. Not too long ago, I spent the weekend reviewing quite a few restaurants while exploring some shops and markets in the area. On my little foodie excursion, I picked up a few things that were unique, random, and most of all, delicious. By the time I got home, I was able to see all the things I picked up and soon realized that although it seemed like a great idea at the time, I really didn’t know what to do with everything. With a nearly empty fridge to work with on a busy week when I didn’t have time to go grocery shopping, I was faced with trying to come up with dinner. And that’s when my creative juices started to flow. These Bacon & Blue Cheese Flatbreads were born out of necessity using random gourmet items and limited fresh ingredients on hand. Gluten free pizza crusts are topped creamy blue brie cheese, crisp duck bacon, fresh baby spinach, chopped tomatoes and a drizzle of garlic olive oil for a gourmet spin on homemade pizza night…

Remove from oven and garnish with spinach and tomato. Drizzle with olive oil and serve.
