3 tbsp sesame seeds

6 slices American cheese

2 Roma tomatoes, sliced ½-inch thick

Instructions
-
Preheat and Prep
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. -
Par-Bake the Flatbreads
Brush the edges of the flatbreads with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Place on the baking sheets and bake for 10 minutes. -
Cook the Beef
While the flatbreads bake, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the ground beef, breaking it up as it browns. Season with salt and pepper and drain excess grease. -
Melt the Cheese into the Beef
Add the American cheese slices to the hot beef and stir until fully melted and creamy. -
Assemble
Drizzle ketchup and mustard in a zigzag pattern over the par-baked flatbreads. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese, then evenly add the cheesy ground beef. Top with tomato and pickle slices. -
Bake
Return to the oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the crust is golden. -
Garnish and Serve
Drizzle with garlic aioli, sprinkle with baby arugula, slice, and serve immediately.
Notes

Cheese swaps: Try cheddar, Colby Jack, or a burger cheese blend.

Extra toppings: Bacon, sautéed onions, or jalapeños are great additions.

Make ahead: Cook the beef mixture in advance and reheat before assembling.

Serving idea: Pair with fries, chips, or a simple side salad.
