Asparagus, Goat Cheese, and Pistachio Flatbread

Asparagus, Goat Cheese, and Pistachio Flatbread-this easy and healthy flatbread is perfect for spring!
I am so in love with spring right now, especially the fruits and veggies. Going grocery shopping and seeing all of the fresh produce makes me giddy. Yes, I am nerdy like that.
I am currently obsessed with asparagus. I think I've made it for dinner every night…for a week. Caleb is not loving it, but I don't care. Every time he sees me get out the asparagus he says, “We had that last night.” Ha! I keep fixing it differently so he shouldn't be too sick of it:) I have made Lemon Orzo Salad with Asparagus, Roasted Asparagus, and my favorite Spring Quinoa Salad.
I was going to take an asparagus break, but I had one more bunch to use up so I made Asparagus, Goat Cheese, and Pistachio Flatbread. I am so glad I did because this flatbread is my new favorite EASY spring meal!
I didn't want Caleb to whine about having asparagus for dinner again, so I told him I was making flatbread pizza for dinner. He loves pizza so I knew he would be excited. I just had to hide the toppings from him:)
I used store bought whole grain flatbread for the crust. Easy peasy! I topped the flatbread with a little olive oil, goat cheese, shaved asparagus, lemon zest, chives, and pistachios.
I baked the flatbread until the cheese was melted and voila! A gourmet spring green flatbread pizza in no time!
I love everything about this flatbread. It's easy to make and I love the bright green colors and fresh flavors! Plus, it was easy to clean up since there weren't any leftovers. Caleb loved his flatbread pizza. Ok, he did ask for sausage pizza and he picked off the asparagus, but he ate the rest. He is only three, hopefully someday he will love asparagus like his mama! And I ate his asparagus, so more for me! Yay!
Bring a little spring into your kitchen with this easy Asparagus, Goat Cheese, and Pistachio Flatbread. It is great for a light lunch, dinner, or party appetizer! Enjoy!
