Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.

  3. Brush top side of each flatbread evenly with olive oil; sprinkle half of the shredded cheese evenly over both crusts.
  4. Arrange bacon evenly over both crusts; top each with remaining shredded cheese.
  5. Bake for 10 minutes, or until golden and bubbly.
  6. Slice each flatbread into 6 pieces and arrange on a serving platter.
