Nothing beats the classic combination of tomatoes, basil, mozzarella, and balsamic vinegar. We’re upping the ante by smearing a flatbread with a sour cream & basil pesto creme, and topping it with roasted baby tomatoes, fresh rocket, and mozzarella cheese. Garnished with toasted sunflower seeds and lashings of balsamic reduction.
