Asparagus Flatbread
ingredients:
- ½ cup ricotta cheese

In a small bowl, stir together ricotta, chives, ½ of the lemon zest, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3.
Using a vegetable peeler, shave asparagus spears into long, thin shavings. If asparagus is thin to start, simply cut in half lengthwise.

Place flatbread on a baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes until cheese is melted and flatbread is crisp.
