Goat Cheese, Beet and JalapeƱo Flatbread

This is my healthier at-home version of our beloved Bo-Beau Kitchen flatbread: goat cheese, beet and jalapeƱo. AKA three things you wouldnā€™t really think to put together.

But, this unique flatbread combination is so right.

The component that helps bring everything together is a sweet onion-tomato spread. To make this, all I did was heat one large diced sweet onion on the stovetop, liberally seasoned with olive oil, salt and pepper. After about 5 minutes, I stirred in three tablespoons of tomato paste, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and removed from the heat.

Next, I went to work on the dough. Iā€™d love to say I made it from scratch, but this came from a package and it was delightful. You can make yours from scratch if youā€™re fancy like that -this is the best pizza dough recipe and I also love the Bobā€™s Red Mill mixes- but if you need a little head start, Iā€™m right there with ya.

Next, spread your onion sauce on top plus a soft crumbled cheese of choice. (I went with a container of goat cheese.)

Top with sliced steamed beets,

hard shredded cheese (used Manchego), and sliced fresh jalapeƱos.

Goat Cheese Flatbread Recipe

Recreating this Bo-Beau Kitchen recipe was a little more challenging because my menu was clouded by the extreme foodgasm experience. The good news is that it tastes remarkably similar to our favorite restaurant version, albeit a little healthier. Itā€™s easy, delightful, and especially fantastic with a glass of red šŸ˜‰

    Yum!!! This reminds me of a recipe I just saw The High Priestess of Excitement Giada create…it was a goat cheese and fig crostini and looked like a bit of heaven. šŸ™‚

  2. Livi @ Eat, Pray, Work It Out on August 5, 2014 at 7:25 am

    Goat cheese is amazing! This flatbread looks so delicious!

  3. Sophie on August 5, 2014 at 7:53 am

    This looks amazing! Goats cheese was a fab choice – i’ll definitely have to try it out!

  4. Erin @ Her Heartland Soul on August 5, 2014 at 8:05 am

    That TJ’s goat cheese is my favorite!!

    This pizza looks amazing. I love all sorts of different combos. New Haven, CT kind of opened my eyes to pizza (or apizza as they call it) and introduced me to so many good kinds. I love Bar’s mashed potato pizza! Omg so good!

  5. Jessica on August 5, 2014 at 8:05 am

    This looks like what my dreams are made of! However my boyfriend hates beets. Do you have any ideas on a good replacement for beets?

  6. Lucie@FitSwissChick on August 5, 2014 at 9:24 am

    I love goatcheese in pizza – it’s the best!!

  7. kristin on August 5, 2014 at 9:46 am

    i love beets but have never thought to pair them with jalapenos. yum!

  8. Sara @ LovingOnTheRun on August 5, 2014 at 10:04 am

    Yum! This looks delicious and reminds me that I need to figure out what is on tap for dinner tonight.

  9. Laura @FitMamaLove on August 5, 2014 at 10:24 am

    I’ve never thought of putting beets on a pizza before! Sounds strange, but I’m intrigued.

  10. Megan @ Skinny Fitalicious on August 5, 2014 at 10:52 am

    I love making my own flatbreads. Unfortunately, goat cheese is not one cheese I love to eat. It has a very strong taste. I could substitute feta though!

  11. Courtney Bentley on August 5, 2014 at 11:09 am

    OMG this looks AMAZING! xoC

  12. Jill on August 5, 2014 at 11:53 am

    Great grating pic! šŸ™‚ You’re right, wouldn’t have thought of putting those topping together, but it does look pretty great!

  13. Hannah @ CleanEatingVeggieGirl on August 5, 2014 at 12:03 pm

    This is super creative and sounds deeeelicious!! I have been wanting to try cooking with beets, so this would be the perfect recipe to do it with.

  14. London @ London, Like the City on August 5, 2014 at 1:30 pm

    Don’t think I’ve ever had beets on pizza/flatbread…I’m intrigued!!

  15. Leslee @ Her Happy Balance on August 5, 2014 at 2:07 pm

    I love arugala on a pizza. Add some prosciutto and maybe a little ricotta and I’m set.

  16. Christina on August 5, 2014 at 2:31 pm

    Wow, I thought the beets were pepperoni haha…that looks delicious and so much healthier than pepperoni šŸ˜‰

  17. Laura @ She Eats Well on August 5, 2014 at 3:22 pm

    Goat cheese and beets are like PB and J in my mind – the best combo. But I LOVE spicy so I welcome the jalapenos in this – so creative!

  18. Sarah on August 5, 2014 at 3:56 pm

    Do you deliver??? šŸ˜‰

  19. kristen | ok, enjoy. on August 5, 2014 at 4:17 pm

    This sounds delicious! I love the idea of adding exactly the toppings you want to a pizza (I’m looking at you, beets). But I’ve still been too intimidated to try making the dough from scratch.

  20. Domi @ Eat, Pray, Lift on August 5, 2014 at 4:55 pm

    As if you could ever go wrong with carbs and cheese… šŸ˜‰ Yes puhhlease!

  21. Julie on August 5, 2014 at 6:32 pm

    I love this! I’m not a big fan of beets but I don’t hate them either.

  22. Alex @ Kenzie Life on August 5, 2014 at 6:32 pm

    Ooh this looks awesome! My favorite pizza topping combo is pineapple and green bell pepper. I love it!

  23. Jennifer Tu on August 6, 2014 at 8:46 am

    This looks delicious! My personal fav is grilled peaches, arugula, garlic, caramelized onions with prosciutto & goat cheese. It is truly DIVINE!!!

  24. Fancy on August 16, 2014 at 10:25 am

    Hey Gina! The recipe u linked to for the pizza crust says it calls for bread flour? Is that a certain type of flour or can you use whole wheat, white, etc.? Thank you so much šŸ™‚ I would love to make this tonight!!!

    • Fitnessista on August 17, 2014 at 5:02 pm

      i’ve used brown rice flour and it worked well (a little chewy, but still good). spelt would be a good option too!

  25. Shay @ Whine Less, Breathe More on August 18, 2014 at 8:59 pm

    This pizza recipe is screaming my name! It will be served at my house this weekend. Thanks!
