# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • You get all the satisfying creaminess of a sushi bake without the hourlong bake time
  • The flatbread stays irresistibly crisp while the topping gets warm and melty
  • That spicy drizzle ties everything together like a magic trick
02 -
  • Cold rice is nonnegotiable here or youll end up with gummy clumpy filling
  • Let the flatbreads cool for just 2 minutes after baking so the cheese sets slightly but stays melty
  • The spicy drizzle needs to go on right before serving or itll soak into the toppings
03 -
  • Use a sharp knife to slice the avocado right before serving so it doesnt brown
  • If your flatbread seems thick brush the edges with olive oil before baking
  • Smoked salmon adds incredible depth if you want to skip the cooking step entirely
