Cooking steps
1
  • Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce.

  • Halve, peel, and cut onion into ½-inch-thick wedges. Slice top off green pepper; core and deseed, then cut crosswise into ½-inch-thick rings.

2
  • Place flatbreads on a lightly oiled baking sheet; toast on top rack until golden, 5-7 minutes. (For 4 servings, divide between 2 sheets; toast on top and middle racks.)

3
  • While flatbreads toast, heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add onion, green pepper, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and softened, 6-8 minutes. Turn off heat; transfer veggies to a plate. Wipe out pan.

  • Remove sausage* from casing if necessary; discard casing. Heat a drizzle of oil in same pan over medium-high heat. Add sausage to pan and cook, breaking meat up into pieces, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes.

4
  • Meanwhile, in a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine 2 TBSP water and 2 TBSP butter (4 TBSP water and 3 TBSP butter for 4 servings). Microwave until water is hot and butter has melted, 1 minute.

  • Whisk in tomato paste until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.

5
  • Once flatbreads are toasted, remove sheet from oven. Evenly spread flatbreads with sauce, then top with mozzarella, Monterey Jack, sausage, and veggies. Season with salt and pepper.

  • Bake until cheese melts and flatbreads are golden brown, 3-5 minutes.

6
  • Allow flatbreads to cool slightly, then slice into pieces.

  • Divide between plates and serve.
