Bronson's Flatbread and Red Pepper Jelly

Ricotta

Named after Action Bronson, a favorite music performer, whose cookbook celebrates the cultural collaboration in food and features several easy-to-make meals I wish I had in college.

Preheat your broiler and set out a

sheet pan. Spray non-stick oil onto your sheet pan, then drizzle olive oil over the

top of the breads.

Spread 1/4 of your ricotta cheese on each of the flatbreads and sprinkle 1/4 of the

hazelnuts on top. Drizzle them with

olive oil, yet again.

Coat the bottom of a small skillet

with olive oil, and heat it over

medium-high heat.

Add one of the flatbread pizzas and cook it long enough just to toast the bottom. Move it back to the sheet pan and repeat with the 3 remaining pies.

Toast the pies under the broiler

until the edges of the bread and the

top of the hazelnuts are well toasted

(by this time, your house will start to

smell amazing). Drizzle on a 1/4 of

the red pepper jelly until evenly

coated, then some more olive oil,

and eat right away.

If you don't like olive oil, and lots of it, this dish is not for you.

Recipe yields 4 flatbreads

1 cup of hazelnuts (if you can't find hazelnuts, macadamias work as a perfect substitution)

8oz of good quality ricotta cheese

4 Thick pitas, naan bread

or balkan flatbread

12oz of Red Pepper Jelly
