Flatbread Pizzas

Around Christmastime when I was trying to keep myself on a budget and had a lot of other things to take care of, I relied on one of my many go-to dinner recipes: pizza. Instead of making my own pizza dough, I was just going to make English Muffin pizzas like my mom always used to make. However, when I was in the bread aisle of the grocery store I came across these cool mini flatbreads and I just couldn't resist!

I decided to make three different varieties of pizzas: an "Everything Flatbread Pizza," a "Pesto Flatbread Pizza," and a "BBQ Chicken Flatbread Pizza." Variety is my friend. And I'm sure those who you are serving these to will appreciate it as well! Although it seems like a lot of ingredients, most were already on hand and it took hardly any prep work. This would also be a great appetizer for a get-together since it's so quick and easy and can be cut into small pieces. Enjoy!
