Ingredients
Scale
Flatbread Base
- 2 pieces Flatbreads (Store-bought or homemade)
Sauce
- 1/2 cup Sour Cream (Can be substituted with Greek yogurt)
- 1/4 cup Mayonnaise (Hellmann’s Real recommended)
- 2 cloves Garlic (Minced)
- 1 tablespoon Lime Juice (Freshly squeezed)
- 1/4 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper (Adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt (To taste)
Toppings
- 1 cup Corn Kernels (Fresh, canned, or thawed frozen)
- 1 cup Shredded Marble Cheese (For melting)
- 1/2 cup Feta Cheese (Can substitute with cotija)
- 1/4 cup Cilantro (Optional garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line two baking sheets with cornmeal to prevent sticking and to create a non-stick surface for baking the flatbreads.
- Char the Corn: Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat. Add the corn kernels and cook, stirring occasionally, until the corn is smoky and blackened in spots, about 5–7 minutes. This adds a deep smoky flavor to the pizza.
- Prepare the Sauce: In a bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, minced garlic, freshly squeezed lime juice, cayenne pepper, and salt. Whisk until the mixture is completely smooth and well blended to create a creamy, tangy, and spicy sauce.
- Spread Sauce on Flatbreads: Use a spatula to evenly spread the prepared sauce over both flatbreads, ensuring a flavorful base layer on each one.
- Add Cheese and Corn: Sprinkle shredded marble cheese evenly over the sauced flatbreads, then scatter the charred corn kernels on top, distributing them generously.
- Top with Feta Cheese: Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the corn and melted cheese layer for a salty, creamy contrast.
- Bake the Flatbreads: Place the prepared flatbreads on the lined baking sheets and bake in the preheated oven for 15–16 minutes. Bake until the crusts turn golden brown and the cheeses bubble and melt nicely.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh cilantro leaves if desired. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrasting textures and smoky, tangy flavors.
Notes
- For extra smoky flavor, consider grilling the corn instead of pan-charing.
- You can substitute marble cheese with mozzarella or cheddar for a different cheese profile.
- Adjust cayenne pepper quantity to control the heat level in the sauce.
- Use gluten-free flatbreads to make this recipe gluten-free if needed.
- Leftover flatbread pizza tastes great warmed up in a skillet or oven.
