Now if you’re like a certain literary character we all know, you might find yourself resistant to the notion of green eggs and ham, but not to worry!  The ‘green’ in my super-fun recipe is yummy pesto, not anything seemingly inedible.

After whipping this up a time or two, believe me when I tell you that the key to this recipe is the flatbread. There are a lot of varieties out there, but what you’re looking for is a crispy flatbread that will withstand the weight of all the tasty layers—so it needs to be thin, but not too thin! If all you can find is soft flatbread, you can crisp it up by placing it in the oven for 10 minutes.

Young and old will get a kick out of this fun culinary tribute to Dr. Suess or St. Paddy’s Day, and you’ll have just as much fun making it!
