Steak & Egg Flatbread with Creamy Brie and Caramelized Onions


Breakfast for dinner -- one of my favorite things!  As if this pizza-like dinner can't be made any better, we throw a runny egg on top!  Pure perfection.  This flatbread was made one of those nights were I had no idea what to do for dinner and was feeling particularly lazy.  I opened the fridge and saw some odds and ends...leftover steak from dinner last night, half a wheel of brie from a cheese plate a few days ago, and of course my staple go-to dinner every night after work: eggs. So I threw all these things together and enjoyed!  Feel free to mix up the ingredients and use up any leftovers you have.  Any cheese would be stellar on this flatbread but I chose the brie due to it's melty-ness -- this flatbread lacks a true sauce so the brie mixed with the runny egg kind of makes up for that.  My husband announced after his first bite that we needed a sauce so I gave our dinners a drizzle of balsamic syrup and it was delicious!

Steak & Egg Flatbread w/ Creamy Brie and Caramelized Onions (makes 2 flatbreads)

1 package (2 flatbreads) naan
leftover steak, london broil, etc, thinly sliced
1/2 wheel of brie, sliced, with rind
one large onion, caramelized 
salt and pepper 
2 large eggs
handful parsley, chopped
Balsamic syrup, if desired

1.  Preheat oven to 475.  Place a pizza stone in oven on a middle rack while preheating.  When oven is heated, place each flatbread on the pizza stone and bake until just starting to crisp, 5 to 7 minutes.  Remove flatbreads from oven, leaving the pizza stone.
2.  Top each flatbread with steak, brie and caramelized onions.  Try to arrange the toppings in a circular pattern around the outside of the flatbread, leaving space in the center of the flatbread for the egg. Season with salt and pepper
3.  Carefully crack one egg on each flatbread and place flatbreads in the oven back on the pizza stone.  Bake 5 minutes then switch the oven to broil.  This will allow the whites of the egg to set before the whole flatbread is burned.  Broil flatbreads until cheese is bubbly and egg whites are set.  Remove from oven and sprinkle with parsley.  Drizzle with balsamic syrup if desired.
