Spanish Flatbread with Manchego Cheese, Mushrooms & Dates Recipe (2024)

All Recipes, Tapas / July 9, 2019

I am being completely honest here, this Spanish Flatbread with Manchego Cheese, Mushrooms & Dates is probably one of the best things I have ever tasted. It´s loaded with so many different dimensions of flavors, it´s sweet, it´s savory, it´s absolutely delicious. You can serve this flatbread as a tapas appetizer or as a main course next to a simple salad.

What gives this flatbread that sweet flavor is the use of dates. I absolutely love dates, they are very commonly used in Spanish cuisine. Brought here to the Iberian penninsula by the moors in the year 711 A.D. If you´re not a fan of dates or can´t find them in your area, you can substitute them for raisins or dried cranberries.

The best part about this Spanish flatbread is how easy it is to put together. For the flatbread I used a premade pizza dough, just to make things easier, but if you prefer, you can make your own dough. I also used a mild Manchego cheese, as this one melt´s a lot easier than the aged one.

The secret to this Spanish flatbread is the olive oil. This is what brings all these beautiful flavors together. For this recipe I used Apollo´s ¨Mistral¨ organic extra virgin olive oil. This California based olive oil has a beautiful & intense aroma and offers an incredible balance of flavors. Don´t hold back on this one folks. This olive oil is an absolute stunner and truly takes this flatbread to the next level in goodness 🙂 .

Cookware that I use:
Swiss Diamond Chef´s Knife
Swiss Diamond Pans
Wood Cutting Board
