Ingredients in this Smoked Salmon Breakfast Flatbread

  • Flour: all purpose flour for the yogurt flatbread.

  • Baking powder and baking soda: for the flatbread crust.

  • Greek yogurt: this is used to make the flatbread. The yogurt should be thick and not watery. If your yogurt it to watery, you can drain it by placing the yogurt in a cheesecloth, tying the cheesecloth to a long wooden spoon and letting it hang over a large mixing bowl or pot (not touching the bottom) so the liquid can drip out.

  • Olive oil

  • Eggs: In this recipe, I boil the eggs and then chop them. Alternatively, you can poach or even fry the eggs.

  • Cream cheese

  • Lemon: lemon juice and lemon slices to serve.

  • Veggies: Cherry tomatoes, red onion, capers.

  • Smoked salmon
  • Seasoning and herbs: salt and black pepper, everything bagel spice, fresh dill.

How to make Smoked Salmon Breakfast Flatbread

  1. Make the flatbread crust: To make the flatbread crust, mix all of the dry ingredients in a bowl. Add the yogurt and use a wooden spoon to mix well. The dough will be shaggy and sticky. Transfer to a well floured surface and sprinkle with some flour. Fold the dough in on itself a few times and then form into a ball. Place the ball onto the parchment paper lined baking sheet and pressing down with your hands, shape it into a rectangle about 1/4″ thick. Brush with olive oil. Bake in the oven for 13 minutes or until a nice golden brown. Let cool.

  2. Cook eggs. Meanwhile, bring a pot of water to a boil and add the 2 eggs. Boil for 7 minutes. Remove and place in an ice bath to cool.

  3. Assemble the toppings: In a bowl, mix the cream cheese with lemon juice. Spread it over the cooled flatbread, leaving a 1/2 inch border around the edges. Spread slices of smoked salmon evenly over pizza. Sprinkle with the sliced cherry tomatoes, red onion, capers, and fresh dill. Peel and slice eggs into quarters. Spread over the flatbread.

  4. Season: Sprinkle with salt, pepper and everything bagel spice. Serve with lemon slices.

Can you prepare this in advance?

This flatbread is best when made and enjoyed fresh. If it sits for a long time, the moisture from the smoked salmon will start to make the crust soggy.

If you do need to make some components in advance, you can prepare and bake the crust and then cool it, cover it well, and store it in the fridge. The next day you can heat it up again in the oven and then proceed with the other steps.

Other components like chopping the veggies and boiling the eggs can also be done in advance and stored in the fridge.

Can you make smaller portions?

Yes! This recipe can easily be made into small individual rounds. Instead of baking the flatbread as a large rectangle, divide it into smaller portions. Roll each portion into a ball and then flatten it out to form a thin disk. Then bake the smaller rounds and top them as instructed in the recipe to make individual servings.

What to serve with this Smoked Salmon Breakfast Flatbread

On its own, this flatbread is a full breakfast, complete with carbs, protein, and veggies. You can serve it as is, or turn it into a nice brunch served alongside a salad like a Mixed Berry Arugula Salad.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

  1. Can you guide us in making the flatbread gluten-free?

    • Herbs and Flour

      Hi Timothy! I personally haven’t made these gluten-free but other home cooks have told me they have made my flatbread using gluten-free flour with success. I would follow the recipe as described using the gluten-free substitutes.
