Heirloom and Roasted Corn Flatbread

Makes 8 servings

Heirloom and Roasted Corn Flatbread by Chef Candice Kumai

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
• 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced, preferably on a mandoline
• 1 ear of roasted corn (optional)
• 1 cup fresh heirloom tomatoes, thinly sliced
• 1 cup fresh heirloom or cherry , halved
• 1 pound store-bought pizza dough (gluten-free pizza dough works as well!)
• ¼ teaspoon sea salt to taste
• 3 ounces chèvre (goat cheese)
• 1 cup arugula

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large skillet over a low heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is golden, about 20 minutes. (*If using roasted corn, continue. If not, skip to pizza dough step below). Add a teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil and a pinch of sea salt to the corn ear. Place over a medium open flame, a minute or two on each side, turning using tongs. Roast all sides evenly, with slight charring and color. Cool the corn. On a clean cutting board, shave the kernels off using a sharp knife.

Roll out the pizza dough with a touch of flour, if needed and place it on a large baking sheet. Bake for about 10 minutes, or until golden brown. Transfer the flatbread to a large platter and brush it with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and a sprinkle of salt. Top with the onions, roasted corn, tomatoes, arugula, chèvre cheese and enjoy!
