Tomato Cream Cheese Flatbread Pizza is a fast, easy, tasty snack!
“Mom, is that a pizza?”
“It’s a flatbread! You can eat it as a snack, or like a pizza!”
“It looks like yummy pizza! Or pizza bread. Flatbread pizza? What are you going to call it?”
These are the conversations that happen in my house when my kids are home for the summer and around to watch me edit photos all day. At ages 10 and 13, they have strong opinions. And questions. So many questions. I love it. Wouldn’t have it any other way!
Today’s Foodie Friday recipe is a creation I devised out of sheer hunger one day a couple of years ago. It’s become one of my Go To quick snacks, and I even enjoy it as one of my #FastLunch creations during busy work days!
Tomato Cream Cheese Flatbread Pizza
The ingredient list for this snack/appetizer/flatbread pizza is short and sweet:
- flatbread
- herbed cream cheese
- Roma tomatoes
- a little olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper
I love this fast, easy, family-friendly snack recipe because it’s easy to customize and make your own – like most of my recipes!
Substitution/Addition Ideas:
- I substitute dairy-free cream cheese (Kite Hill is my favorite dairy-free herbed “cheese” for this) for regular cream cheese
- I use Roma tomatoes, but you can use any ol’ tomatoes that you have on hand or from your garden
- Substitute gluten-free flatbread for regular flatbread
- Add bacon (because everything is better with bacon!)
- Sprinkle some fresh arugula leaves
- Add sautéed zucchini (great way to use up the abundance of zucchini growing this season!)
I made a quick video with my handy dandy iPhone 7 to show you just how easy it is:
Super easy, right? And SO full of yummy summer tomato flavors, punched up a notch with the roasted garlic and then softened with the herb cream cheese.
I love this and make this so often, especially while I’m working from home. I hope it becomes a family snack favorite in your house, too!

Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- In a medium bowl, combine tomatoes, olive oil, minced garlic, salt and pepper.
- Pour tomato mixture onto a baking sheet so tomatoes lay out in a single layer, with a little space between each tomato.
- Roast in the oven for 12-15 minutes, just until the tomatoes have a nice deeper color and are softened.
- In the meantime, spread cream cheese over the flatbread.
- Remove tomatoes from oven when done, and spread over the cream cheese.
- Slice into triangles, like a pizza.

This looks so delicious and will make a great summer party snack. I’m a pizza fan, so I can literally eat this for all 3 meals ;) Love the pictures.
It really is! Thank you!
I love that this recipe can be made gluten free. My gluten free neighbor is always coming over for snacks and goodies so she’ll love this gluten free option!
Aww that’s great! :)
It’s definitely an easy recipe! I love sun dried tomatoes so would love to incorporate those! Perfect work day snack! Thanks for the recipe!
That sounds great! Gotta love quick and easy meals :) Thanks, Whitney!
Flatbread is such a great appetizer! (or meal, really). I love this flavor combination, it looks amazing!
It’s one of my favorite flavor combinations. Thanks so much!
What a great combination. Instead of having melting cheese you have the cream cheese which grabs on to the yummy toppings. I agree with Gloria it would be a great appetizer. I bet your kids will hate going back to school and missing out on all the yummy samplings.
It really is a delicious combo! Thanks, Marisa:)
I love a flat bread pizza. My one go to when the kids have nothing for snack. I buy and keep these in my freeze.. This looks so delish.
Gotta love quick and easy meals :) Thanks, Veena!
Ok…I LOVE pizza and tomatoes. Cream cheese is such a great base…and this would be perfect for entertaining. We have some parties coming up…and this just might have to make an appearance. Delicious.
Glad you like this flavor combo, Gloria! I do too! Thanks :)
I call this perfect weekend comfort food. 😀
Please keep me a slice or two
Will do! ;)
Nice little dish for a summer evening and even for snacking. Tomato season here in Florida is over but I still have a few will try your recipe.
Great! Let me know how you like it! :)
This sounds like a great summer lunch! It looks so fresh and tasty!
It definitely is. It’s so delicious. Thank you! :)
Yes, I love Kite Hill as a vegan cheese substitute. I also like this combo just with grape tomatoes without even roasting it!
It really is a delicious combo! Thanks! :)
This looks SO good. I can see it with flatbread straight from the grill, too. Less stressful than trying to get a pizza cooked without losing all your toppings into the flame/charcoal!
It’s definitely easier than pizza! Thank you! :)
Yum, that looks delicious! What an easy snack that doesn’t require a lot of energy—or cooking. Also, I love that your kids get in on the Urban Bliss creative project!!!
It really is that easy and fast to make and I love it! Thanks, Catherine!
