Ingredients
  

1 large flatbread (store-bought or homemade)

2 cups fresh corn kernels (about 2 ears of corn)

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup fresh basil leaves

1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil

1 garlic clove

Salt to taste

Freshly cracked black pepper to taste

Balsamic glaze for drizzling (optional)

1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional, for extra flavor)

Instructions
 

Make the Pesto: In a food processor, combine basil leaves, toasted pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, garlic, and a pinch of salt. Pulse until finely chopped. With the processor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

    Grill the Corn: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the corn directly on the grill grates and grill for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until the corn is charred and cooked through. Remove from the grill, let cool slightly, and slice the kernels off the cob.

      Prepare the Flatbread: Preheat your grill or oven to medium heat. If using a grill, lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking. If using an oven, prepare a baking sheet.

        Assemble the Flatbread: Spread a generous layer of tomato pesto over the flatbread. Evenly distribute the grilled corn kernels and halved cherry tomatoes on top. If using, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the veggies for an extra layer of flavor.

          Grill/Bake the Flatbread: Place the flatbread on the grill or in the oven. Grill for about 4-5 minutes until the flatbread is heated through and slightly crispy. If using the oven, bake for approximately 10-12 minutes, until golden and bubbly.

            Finish and Serve: Once the flatbread is done, remove it from the grill/oven. Drizzle with balsamic glaze if desired, and sprinkle with freshly cracked black pepper. Slice into pieces and serve warm.
