Cheesy Zucchini and Red Onion Flatbread


This is full of cheesy goodness, and who doesn’t like the yummy Alouette or Rondole spread?

I can also see this with half goat cheese and half  cream cheese (mixed together) instead of the Alouette and Gruyere instead of the Parmesan cheese and instead of the onions, roast some delicious little cherry tomatoes. 

Oh yes, the possibilities can be endless and always delicious.


Of course you could always make your own pizza dough but it really is so much easier when you buy the pre-made stuff.  Trader Joe’s has a great pre-made pizza dough, you could even use the whole wheat one.  It just might make you feel better.


Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly coat with cooking spray.


Chop all your veggies and grate your cheese.  Now we’re ready to rock and roll.  This really does come together quite easily.


Spread out the pizza dough and spread 1/2 of the garlic-and-herb cheese spread down on only one side of the pizza dough long way.


Sprinkle half of the Parmesan cheese.


Half of the parsley.


Now fold over the plain half of the dough over the filled half.  Do not seal the edges.


Spread the remaining garlic-herbed cheese spread and Parmesan cheese on top.


You will be alternating rows with the zucchini and red onions.  I cut my zucchini in half because the zucchini was so big it wouldn’t fit in my food processor.  I really could have put more onions on this, they were so good.


Lightly spray the top with olive oil cooking spray.


Season with a little bit of salt and pepper and the remaining parsley.


Bake at 400 degrees for about 20-24 minutes.  I paired this with a green salad and it made a spectacular lunch.

Cheesy Zucchini and Red Onion Flatbread
Bon Appetit/August 2006

Non stick vegetable oil spray
1 10-ounce tube refrigerated pizza dough
3/4 cup garlic-and-herb cheese spread (such as Alouette), divided
3/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese, divided
3 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian Parsley, divided
1 small red onion
1 7- to 8-inch-long zucchini (yellow or green), cut crosswise into 1/8-inch-thick rounds, divided
Olive oil

Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F.  Line baking sheet with parchment paper; spray with nonstick spray.  Unroll dough onto parchment.  Spread half of herb cheese over 1 long half of dough, leaving 1/2-inch plain border.  Sprinkle with half of Parmesan and 2 tablespoons parsley.  Using parchment as aid, fold plain half of dough over filled half (do not seal edges).  Spread remaining herb cheese over top; sprinkle with remaining Parmesan.  Remove enough outer layers of onion to yield 2-inch-diameter core; cut into 1/8-inch-thick rounds.  Arrange 1 row of zucchini down 1 long side of dough.  Arrange onion rounds in row alongside zucchini.  Arrange 1 more row of zucchini alongside onion.  Brush vegetables with oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper.  Bake bread until puffed and deep brown at edges, about 24 minutes.  Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon parsley.  Serves 4-6.

    This looks fantastic and I love the combination of ingredients. I’ve bookmarked this.

    We don’t have dough in tubes in Australia but I think I can cobble a dough together that would be close.
