Rustic Flatbread Pizza with Bacon and Asparagus

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Rustic Flatbread Pizza with Bacon and Asparagus.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C).

2. Step 2

   To make cleanup a breeze, line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

3. Step 3

   In a skillet, warm up a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.

4. Step 4

   Toss in your sliced mushrooms and chopped garlic, seasoning them with a pinch of salt and a dash of black pepper.

5. Step 5

   Let them cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their delicious juices and the liquid evaporates.

6. Step 6

   Once done, remove the skillet from the heat and set it aside.

7. Step 7

   Next, grab another large skillet and heat another tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat until it’s nice and hot.

8. Step 8

   Add the asparagus pieces and sauté them, stirring occasionally, until they’re beautifully browned, which should take around 8 minutes.

9. Step 9

   Once they’re done, take the asparagus out of the skillet and set it aside.

10. Step 10

    Now, let’s turn our attention to the bacon.

11. Step 11

    Lower the heat to medium and add the bacon to the same skillet.

12. Step 12

    Cook it until it’s crispy, about 10 minutes, stirring often to ensure even cooking.

13. Step 13

    If there’s too much grease, feel free to drain some off for extra crispiness.

14. Step 14

    Once the bacon is perfectly cooked, transfer it to a paper towel-lined plate to soak up any excess grease.

15. Step 15

    With all your delicious toppings ready, it’s time to assemble your flatbread pizza.

16. Step 16

    Place the flatbread crust on the prepared baking sheet and spread a generous layer of marinara sauce over it.

17. Step 17

    Next, layer on the sautéed mushrooms and garlic, followed by the browned asparagus and crispy bacon pieces.

18. Step 18

    To finish it off, sprinkle a delightful mix of shredded mozzarella and Asiago cheese evenly over the top.

19. Step 19

    Now, pop your masterpiece into the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the cheeses are melted and bubbling with joy.
