Indulge In {Blue Peach Flatbread}


'Tis the season for holiday parties! And whether you are hosting or attending, it's always a struggle to create a menu that is easy, filling, and pleasing to just about any one. With any party, I always want to create a menu that people can nosh on all night and will be good no matter when your guests show up. For this reason, I tend to stay away from buffet or family style meals opting for heavy hors d'oeuvres instead. As I've mentioned in the past, crostinis are a great way to fill up your guests and still provide a variety with ease. But this holiday season, I'm putting the crostinis away and bringing out its cousin the flatbread. Like crostinis, they are filling and easy to make, but the flatbread, similar to a pizza, has more versatility due to its size. It's easier for toppings to stay on because it's larger, creating a whole new world of topping possibilities. While I love traditional favorites like margarita and four cheese, I like concocting new options like this one, Blue Peach. It's a combination of peaches, blue cheese crumbles, prosciutto and arugula that's savory, sweet and delicious. I know it will be a huge hit at our holiday party this year and am excited to share the recipe with you today. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
