BananaTUDES! Weekend Recipes, Pesto Corn Flatbread

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with eXp Commercial, Referral Divison RRE-BRO-LIC-75443

It's the weekend, a time when ActiveRainers share various recipes with the community, and with the BananaTUDES! group. 

So here is a recipe you can make when time is limited. You can also switch up ingredients and use whatever you happen to have at home. So it's easy to make, you can use up ingredients, and it's quick to get on the table. What could be better?

Pesto Corn Flatbread

Ingredients

- 2 ears corn, shucked (I used 2 cups frozen corn and cook in butter with some salt until corn is lightly browned)
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 flatbread or naan
- 1 cup pesto
- 8 oz burrata or mozzarella
- 2 heirloom tomatoes, thinly sliced
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- Salt

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400º.
2. Cook corn in butter until lightly brown.
3. Cook flatbreads 2 minutes per side until lightly browned.
4. Spread pesto on one side of flatbreads.
5. Cover with mozzarella, corn, tomatoes and onion.
6. Bake 10-12 minutes until edges are golden brown and cheese is melted.
7. Season with salt and eat.

Alternatives

- You can use any kind of cheese
- Use sundried tomatoes instead of regular tomatoes
- Feel free to add meat of any kind

Why is this so good? Because you can put any ingredients on top, cook for 10 minutes, and you are ready to eat. This works any day of the week!

Bon appetite! Manga! Provecho!

This almost looks like a recipe I could do without screwing it up too badly.

You could Jeffrey DiMuria 321.223.6253 Waves Realty ! Just throw stuff on top of a naan or flatbread , add some cheese, and pop it in the oven for 10 minutes!

Good morning, Kat... this looks amazing. I will need to try this recipe when there are more people in my house than just Chris and myself.

Luckily they aren't that big - one could feed two normally hungry people or one REALLY hungry person Nina Hollander, Broker !

That actually looks delicious, but I think if I made it, I would add some meat to it, haha.

Brian England - oh I think some meat would definitely work well, for meat eaters anyway!

Good morning Kat. Thanks for the recipe. Half with onions for me and half without for the wife. Enjoy your day.

Apr 18, 2026 06:25 AM
Kat Palmiotti

That would work Wayne Martin - we have a family member who can't have garlic or onions or anything similar. They're missing out!

Interesting dish though would not be on our table due to corn for my husband and tomatoes for me. I am sure it is very good.

Leanne Smith - how about mushrooms and some balsamic vinegar instead?

Apr 18, 2026 08:16 AM
Leanne Smith

Thanks for the suggestion, but no as mushrooms are a no no for me and my husband doesn't like any dressings.  He is a simple meat and potatoes guy though he does like mushrooms.

Kat, will have to save this one until I get to Portugal.  Don't have some of these ingredients, and trying to get rid of stuff now.

Move into the Airbnb 4/28, movers move the last of my furniture to the garage on 4/29, and on 5/1 all the stuff I am saving to storage.  Closing 5/4, going away party 5/7 and leaving 5/12.   Will be a busy few weeks left!

I'm sure that's true Joan Cox, Retired Broker/Owner - how much longer until you leave?
