• Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Trim and halve Brussels sprouts lengthwise. Lay flat and thinly slice crosswise into shreds.

• Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add Brussels sprouts; season with 1/2 tsp Italian Seasoning (1 tsp for 4 servings) and a pinch of salt and pepper. (You’ll use more Italian Seasoning in the next step.) Cook, stirring occasionally, until bright green and softened, 5-7 minutes. • Turn off heat; remove from pan. Heat same pan over medium-high heat. Add bacon; cook, turning occasionally and adjusting heat if browning too quickly, until crispy, 6-10 minutes. Turn off heat; transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Once cool enough to handle, roughly chop.

• While Brussels sprouts cook, zest and quarter lemon. • In a small bowl, combine half the lemon zest, 1/2 cup ricotta (save any remaining for another use), 1/2 tsp Italian Seasoning (be sure to measure— we sent more), and a squeeze of lemon juice to taste. (For 4 servings, use 3/4 of the lemon zest, 1 cup ricotta, and 1 tsp Italian Seasoning.) Stir in 1 TBSP olive oil (2 TBSP for 4) and season with salt and pepper.

• Place flatbreads on a baking sheet. Brush or rub each with a drizzle of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. • Toast on top rack until golden brown, 3-5 minutes. (For 4 servings, divide flatbreads between 2 baking sheets; toast on top and middle racks, swapping rack positions halfway through baking.)

• Carefully spread toasted flatbreads with lemon ricotta. Top with a layer of Brussels sprouts. Sprinkle with Italian cheese and half the Parmesan (save the rest for serving). • Bake on top rack until cheese melts and flatbreads are crispy, 4-6 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped bacon before returning to oven.

• Cut flatbreads into pieces. • Divide between plates and drizzle with Mike’s Hot Honey. Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan and remaining lemon zest to taste. Serve with any remaining lemon wedges on the side.
