Chef notes
I love to keep lavash on hand for cocktail parties and snacking. This is the quickest recipe to throw together last-minute. It's crispy, cheesy and a huge crowd-pleaser at any gathering!
Kitchen equipment required: A basting brush helps easily and evenly spread the olive oil. I also love using a good garlic press to mince the cloves.
Technique tip: To cut basil, place the leaves on top of each other and gently roll them together; this way you can chop them all at once.
Swap option: If you don't have lavash, you could make a similar dish with flour tortillas.
