Ingredients
  

  • 1/3 cup or 80 ml olive oil, divided
  • 1 medium yellow summer squash, quartered and sliced, about 1 1/4 cups or 150g (5.3 oz)
  • 1/2 cup or 65g (2.29 oz) chopped carrot
  • 1/2 cup or 75g (2.65 oz) chopped green sweet pepper
  • 1/2 cup or 75g (2.65 oz) chopped red sweet pepper
  • 1/2 cup or 45g (1.59 oz) broccoli florets
  • 1/2 of a small red onion, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2/3 cup or 110g (3.9 oz) chopped roma tomatoes
  • 12 pimiento-stuffed green olives, halved
  • 1 tablespoon or 15 ml (0.5 fl oz) olive liquid from jar
  • 4 individual Italian flatbreads or focaccia, 6 to 7.5-inch
  • 2 cups or 8 ounces or 225g (7.9 oz) crumbled goat cheese (chèvre)
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • For extra flavor, toss the vegetables with a pinch of dried oregano or Italian seasoning while they cook in the skillet.
  • Make it vegan! Easily swap the goat cheese for your favorite dairy-free feta or a high-quality vegan mozzarella. The briny flavor of vegan feta is a fantastic substitute.
  • If your baking sheet isn't large enough to hold all four flatbreads in a single layer, divide them between two sheets and broil in batches to ensure even cooking and browning.

Method
 

  1. Preheat your broiler.
  2. In an extra-large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons (30 ml / 1 fl oz) of the olive oil over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the summer squash, carrot, sweet peppers, broccoli, red onion, and garlic.
  4. Cook and stir for 3 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
  5. Stir in the chopped tomatoes, halved olives, and the olive liquid from the jar.
  6. Continue to cook for about 2 minutes more, stirring occasionally, until all the vegetables are crisp-tender.
  7. Remove from heat.
  8. Lightly brush both sides of each flatbread with some of the remaining olive oil.
  9. Place them on a large, ungreased baking sheet. Broil about 4 inches from the heat for 2 to 4 minutes, turning once, until both sides are lightly browned and toasted.
  10. Remove the toasted flatbreads from the broiler.
  11. Using a slotted spoon, carefully divide the cooked vegetable mixture evenly among the four flatbreads.
  12. Sprinkle the crumbled goat cheese over the top.
  13. Return the flatbreads to the broiler for about 2 more minutes, or until the goat cheese is softened and slightly melted.
  14. Drizzle with any remaining olive oil and finish with a sprinkle of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper before serving.
  15. Don't walk away from the broiler! Flatbreads and toppings can go from perfectly golden to burnt in a matter of seconds.
  16. Keep a close eye on them throughout the broiling process.
