Cheese

Look for the Proudly Wisconsin Badge when shopping for cheese. Any brand of Wisconsin Aged Cheddar can be used in this recipe.

Instructions

Place pizza stone on lower rack in a cold oven. Heat oven to 400ºF. Bake stone for at least 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, fry bacon in a large skillet over medium heat for 4-5 minutes or until fat is rendered; drain drippings. Add maple syrup; cook and stir for 3-5 minutes longer or until bacon is crisp. Transfer bacon to aluminum foil to cool; separate into pieces.
Sprinkle 3/4 cup cheddar over flatbread to within 1/2 inch of edges. Top with apple and bacon. Sprinkle with remaining cheddar.
Using a rimless baking sheet or pizza peel, carefully transfer flatbread to pizza stone. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until crust edges are golden brown and cheese is melted. Garnish with green onions.

Cheesemonger Tip

Aged cheddar is crumbly and creamy with a rich, nutty flavor that becomes increasingly sharp and complex with age.

In Wisconsin, we make more flavors, varieties, and styles of cheese than anywhere else in the world. We believe in tradition, producing everything from Italian classics, like parmesan and ricotta, to swiss cheese and cheddar varieties. But every Wisconsin cheesemaker is an innovator as well, which is why we have so many Wisconsin originals, like colby and muenster. Whether it’s a grilled cheese sandwich, potatoes au gratin, or a charcuterie board, Wisconsin cheese makes every dish and recipe tastier.
