Pumpkin Seed and Spinach Pesto Flatbread Pizza with Sausage and Feta

These flatbread pizzas are quick and delicious to make.
Serve with soup or salad for a great evening meal. Kids love
them too. Use your favorite veggies and toppings. Get creative! Your kids and friends will love making them with you. I often do
a pizza party evening and prepare several toppings and sauces and let everyone make their own special creation. It’s always lots of fun! Just double the recipe and make a few other veggie choices for a pizza party.

Olive oil for brushing the flatbread
1 Large or 2 medium flatbreads
Toasted pumpkin seed pesto (*recipes below)
Preheat oven to 375 to 400 degrees 

 
For the Pizza Topping (enough topping for 1 large or 2 small pizzas)
1 Cup cooked lamb, beef, or veggie sausage pieces
(cut in ½ inch rounds)
1 ½ Tablespoon olive oil
1 Cup zucchini (cut in 1 inch quarters))
½ Cup bell peppers (julienned or coarsely chopped)
½ Cup yellow or red onion (cut in thin pieces or coarsely chopped)
2 Tablespoon Italian parsley (finely chopped)
(reserve a few leaves for serving)
¼ Cup toasted pumpkin seeds (reserve a few for serving)
½ Teaspoon sea salt (or more to taste)
Freshly ground pepper
Red pepper flakes (optional)
½ Teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (reserve a few for serving)
1 Cup shredded cheese (you can use a blend of Mozzarella and Parmesan or your favorites)
¾ Cups feta cheese (crumbled in large chunck)

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. In a medium sauté pan heat the oil over medium heat for 1 minute. Add all the ingredients except the cheeses, sausages, pesto, and flatbread and sauté for 2 to 4 minutes stirring occasionally until tender. Remove from heat and set aside. (These are just veggie suggestions..use your favorite) Place your flatbread(s)
on a baking tray and brush with olive oil. Spread a layer of pesto evenly across the entire flatbread. Add the sautéed veggies and sausage pieces. Then sprinkle with the shredded cheese, feta, and pumpkin seeds. Place the pizza(s) in the oven and bake uncovered for about 10 to 15 minutes and check to see if the cheese has melted. It’s done when the cheese is golden brown. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with a few parsley leaves and serve immediately. It’s also great the next day if you have any left over.
