Ingredients
Cheese Mixture
- 1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese
- 4 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese (half of an 8-ounce package)
- 1 (3 ounce) package Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
Sausage Mixture
- 1 pound sausage
- ½ (26 ounce) jar marinara sauce
Base
- 6 flatbreads
- 4 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese (remaining half of the 8-ounce package)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the flatbreads.
- Prepare Cheese Mixture: In a bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, half of the shredded mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, and Italian seasoning. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is well blended and creamy.
- Cook Sausage: Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the sausage until it is no longer pink, approximately 5 to 10 minutes. Drain any excess grease for a healthier flatbread.
- Add Marinara Sauce: Stir the marinara sauce into the cooked sausage mixture to create a flavorful topping for the flatbreads.
- Assemble Flatbreads: Spread one-sixth of the cheese mixture evenly over each flatbread, then cover each with the sausage and marinara mixture. Finally, sprinkle the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
- Bake: Place the assembled flatbreads on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.
Notes
- You can substitute cottage cheese for ricotta cheese if preferred for a different texture.
- Ground hamburger can be used instead of sausage as an alternative meat option.
- Drain cooked sausage thoroughly to avoid soggy flatbreads.
- Use quality marinara sauce for the best flavor.
- Serve warm for the best taste and texture.
