🔥 Tips

  • Make sure the spinach mixture cools slightly before mixing with cream cheese—this prevents curdling.
  • Don’t overfill the flatbread or the filling may spill out while cooking.
  • For extra crispiness, brush the outside with olive oil or butter before toasting.
  • Let cooked flatbreads rest 1 minute before slicing — this helps the filling set.
