Ham and Cheese Flat Bread with Walnut Pesto

I love flatbread.  I use it for Pizzas, sandwiches, and am always coming up with creative ideas to kick it up a notch.  This is one of my favorites.  There is no sauce, simply pesto and garlic on the base.  You will love it.

Ham and Cheese Flat Bread with Walnut Pesto

Your favorite type of flatbread (I use Hungry Girl or the ones from the Deli at Walmart, which are quite large)

1/2 lb. to 1 lb. (depending on size of flatbread) Deli Honey Ham
3 Tbsp. Pesto  (make your own or store bought)
2 to 3 cups mozzarella cheese
1 can of diced tomatoes, drained well
1 to 2 Tbsp. Italian Seasonings
2 Tbsp. minced garlic

Mix pesto and minced garlic and spread over the flatbread, covering it completely.  Scatter diced tomatoes all over the top of the pesto.  Layer slices of Honey Ham over top until entire flatbread at least 2 pieces thick.  Sometimes I dice mine up and scatter it over the top and sometimes I just layer it in slices.  Up to you!

Sprinkle with Italian Seasonings and cover with the mozzarella to the edges.  Bake in a 375 degree oven for about 12 to 15 minutes.  If you like a crispier crust, you can bake the bread for about 5 minutes, remove from the oven and add the toppings.

Homemade Walnut Pesto

2 cups of fresh Basil leaves
1/2 cup fresh Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup olive oil
1/3 cup walnuts (or pine nuts if you prefer)
3 cloves of garlic
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper

Add all ingredients except oil into a food processor or blender and slowly drizzle the olive oil in until the consistency is like hummus.
