Introduction
Get ready to fire up your Arteflame grill for this amazing Swiss Ziger Cheese and Onion Flatbread.

Grilling this dish on the Arteflame flat cooktop ensures an even sear and a deliciously crisp texture without burning. Let's get started!
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup warm water
1 tablespoon butter (plus extra for grilling)
1/2 pound Swiss Ziger cheese, crumbled
1 large onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
The Sear Makes the Steak, And Arteflame Makes the Sear
Why settle for low-temperature searing when you can achieve steakhouse-quality results with an Arteflame? Gas grills take longer, drying out your steak, while the Arteflame sears at 1000°F in just one minute, locking in juices for perfection.
Pour some vegetable oil on three paper napkins and place them in the grill.
Stack firewood on top of the soaked napkins.
Light the napkins and allow the wood to burn until the grill is hot and ready for cooking (about 20 minutes).
Step 2: Prepare the onions
Place a generous amount of butter on the flat cooktop.
Add the sliced onions and cook them on medium heat zones until they soften.
Drizzle honey and balsamic vinegar over the onions while stirring.
Continue cooking until the onions caramelize and develop a deep golden-brown color.
Step 3: Prepare the flatbread dough
In a bowl, mix flour and salt.
Gradually add warm water while mixing until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until smooth.
Roll the dough into a thin, rustic shape.
Step 4: Grill the flatbread
Lightly butter the cooktop surface.
Place the dough directly on the lighter heat zone of the Arteflame cooktop.
Cook for about 2 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown.
Flip the flatbread and cook for another 2 minutes on the other side.
Step 5: Add the toppings
Spread the caramelized onions evenly over the flatbread.
Sprinkle crumbled Swiss Ziger cheese over the top.
Let the heat from the flatbread slightly melt the cheese.
Top with fresh thyme leaves.
Step 6: Serve
Slice the flatbread into portions.
Serve warm and enjoy this deliciously rustic Swiss treat.
Tips
Use unsalted butter to prevent excess saltiness in the dish.
For extra crispness, let the flatbread cook a little longer on the Arteflame before flipping.
Lightly sprinkle some coarse sea salt before serving for added flavor.
Variations

Sweet and Savory Flatbread: Drizzle organic honey over the finished flatbread for a sweet balance.
