Method

APPETIZERS

  1. 1

    Prep and preheat

    Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the flatbread rounds on the sheet for topping.

  2. 2

    Make the bechamel base

    In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook about 1 minute to form a light roux. Slowly whisk in milk, cooking until the sauce thickens and is smooth. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg.

  3. 3

    Sauté vegetables

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, peppers, and garlic; sprinkle with half of the Cajun seasoning. Sauté until onions are translucent and peppers are tender. Remove from heat.

  4. 4

    Cook seafood

    In the same skillet, add crawfish tails and shrimp. Sprinkle with the remaining Cajun seasoning and cook just until pink and opaque, about 2–3 minutes. Remove from heat.

  5. 5

    Assemble flatbreads

    Spread a thin layer of bechamel across each flatbread. Top with the sautéed vegetables, crawfish, and shrimp. Sprinkle evenly with mozzarella and cheddar cheese.

  6. 6

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 8–12 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges are golden.

  7. 7

    Finish and serve

    Remove from oven, sprinkle with chopped green onions. Slice into wedges and serve immediately.
