Flatbread Skewers, a clever and delicious idea! I’ve wanted to try them for a while and I finally did! You can serve them as appetizers or a quick main dish. There are many flatbread pizza or flatbread baskets recipes with flatbread that we can make to take advantage of these light and versatile dough discs, to fill in a thousand different ways. For today’s recipe, I used ready-made flatbread, but nothing stops you from making it at home with the oil flatbread dough. Keep in mind that for an aperitif, 1/2 rolls per person is enough, and with this dose, you can make 5 skewers of 3 rolls each.

Ingredients
- 10.5 oz flatbread
- 6.3 oz bacon
- 5.3 oz cheese
How to Make Flatbread Skewers
Start by cutting the flatbreads into strips about 1.18 inches wide, then set them aside.
Do the same with the cheese, they should be about 1.18 inches wide.
At this point, lay a slice of bacon on the work surface.
Place a strip of flatbread and a strip of cheese on top of the bacon, then roll it up tightly.
Take a wooden skewer and skewer three flatbread rolls (you can also add four, depending on the skewer’s length).
As the last step, bake in the air fryer without preheating it, for about 7-8 minutes at 356°F.
Storage for Flatbread Skewers
It’s still a finger food, so it can also be eaten warm, but the advice I can give you is to consume it hot and stringy. As for storage, it’s best to eat them the same day, but if you want to store them, place them in the fridge in an airtight container for a maximum of 24 hours. If you don’t like bacon, you can replace it with other cold cuts such as cooked ham, salami, or speck.
