Why we love Grilled Pear Cucumber Flatbread Recipe

Our Grilled Pear Cucumber Flatbread is lovely springtime appetizer or enjoy it as a light meal. It was the perfect lunch for me. 🙂

The only thing that’s grilled is the whole grain flat bread–if you rather not have it toasted the grill then it easily be toasted under the broiler in the oven. Both options added that little bit of crunchy texture that makes the whole recipe!

What is Chevre Cheese?

Grilled Pear Cucumber Flatbread is topped off with those white blobs of creamy, mouth-watering, Chevre Cheese!

Oh my, I LOVE this stuff!

It’s a soft cheese made out of goats milk and more mild than feta cheese. It’s creamy-soft, it originates from France and you’ll find it in the specialty cheese section of most all grocery stores.

How to make Grilled Pear Cucumber Flatbread Recipe

Once your flat bread is hot and ready to go, it’s simple to add the toppings. Make sure to have the toppings right ready to go- just use a kitchen peeler to shave off long flat pieces of cucumber.

Be sure to buy small, thin cucumber so the seeds are small and it can be evenly shaved.

Preheat grill on medium high.
(or flatbreads can be toasted under the oven broiler, if preferred)
Brush 2 tablespoons olive oil on tops of the 4 pieces of flatbread.
Place oil side down on grill and cook 2-3 minutes or until grill marked and warmed.
Remove flatbreads and add toppings:
Layer cucumber slices, add pear slices, dabs of chevre cheese, sprinkle with toasted pinenuts.
Sprinkle with sea salt and drizzle with olive oil.
Serve and Enjoy!

•• To toast the pine nuts just toss a handful into a small non stick fry pan, over medium high heat stir; cook them for 2-3 minutes BUT, don’t leave them! They quickly turn from toasted to burned in a split second.

Ingredients in Grilled Pear Cucumber Flatbread Recipe

Olive Oil- is widely recognized as one of the world’s healthiest oils. In fact, people tend to live longer and healthier lives in regions where olive oil is a staple part. It is rich in healthy monounsaturated fats, contains large amounts of antioxidants, strong anti-inflammatory properties, may help prevent strokes, protective against heart disease.
Chevre Cheese- A serving of goat cheese delivers 6 grams of filling protein along with a powerful combination of calcium, phosphorus and copper — nutrients that are essential for healthy bones. Plus, goat cheese provides healthy fats, including medium-chain fatty acids, that can improve satiety and benefit weight loss .
Cucumbers- good sources of fiber, particularly in the skin. They also provide potassium and magnesium. The AHA also recommends reducing sodium and increasing potassium intake to help prevent high blood pressure. The cucurbitacins in cucumber may also help prevent atherosclerosis.
Pears- offer several health benefits, including promoting heart health, aiding digestion, and supporting the immune system. They are also a good source of antioxidants, minerals, and fiber.
Whole Grain Bread- Whole grains can contain a lot of fiber. Fiber is one big reason to eat whole grains: they help digestion, lower cholesterol, lower blood pressure, can help control weight, redistribute fat, make you feel full, and help regulate blood sugar.
