10-Minute Cheesy Roasted Garlic & Hot Honey Flatbread

Ingredients

For the Roasted Garlic Butter Spread:

• 1 whole head of garlic (peeled cloves)
• ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
• ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• ½ tsp red pepper flakes
• ½ tsp fine sea salt or black pepper

For the Flatbread & Topping:

• 1 store-bought flatbread, naan, or pre-made pizza dough
• 1 ½ cups low-moisture shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1–2 tbsp hot honey (or regular honey mixed with a pinch of chili flakes)

Instructions

1. Quick-Confid Garlic (5 mins):
   • Add peeled garlic cloves and olive oil to a small oven-safe skillet or small saucepan over medium-low heat.
   • Simmer gently for 4–5 minutes until the cloves turn soft and light golden-brown. Drain the cloves (save the infused oil for future cooking!).
2. Make the Garlic Butter:
   • In a bowl, mash the soft roasted garlic cloves into the softened butter.
   • Stir in the chopped parsley, grated Parmesan, red pepper flakes, and salt until smooth and creamy.
3. Assemble:
   • Place your flatbread or stretched dough onto a sheet of parchment paper.
   • Spread a generous layer of the garlic butter mixture evenly across the surface.
   • Top with a thick layer of shredded mozzarella cheese.
4. Bake:
   • Bake in a preheated oven at 450°F (230°C) for 6–8 minutes (or until the cheese is completely melted, bubbly, and golden-brown on top).
5. Finish & Serve:
   • Remove from the oven and immediately drizzle hot honey over the bubbling cheese.
   • Sprinkle with extra red pepper flakes if desired. Slice into strips and enjoy the ultimate cheese pull!
