# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The combination of sweet onions and tangy goat cheese creates a rich flavor profile.
  • Easy to prepare using store-bought flatbread or naan for a quick meal or appetizer.
  • Beautifully presented with fresh thyme and an optional honey drizzle.
02 -
  • Always check store-bought flatbread labels for allergen information such as gluten or dairy.
