# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • You get that beloved sushi bake flavor without the hour-long bake time or special casserole dish
  • The flatbread stays irresistibly crisp while the topping turns creamy and golden
  • The spicy drizzle ties everything together with that perfect restaurant-quality finish
02 -
  • Make sure your sushi rice is completely cooled before mixing or it will melt the cream cheese and mayo
  • The flatbread will continue crisping slightly after coming out of the oven so do not overbake
  • Slice immediately after topping because the fresh vegetables will start to wilt on the hot surface
03 -
  • Use a vegetable peeler to create ultra-thin cucumber ribbons that drape elegantly over the top
  • Toast your sesame seeds in a dry pan for 30 seconds before adding to the filling for amplified flavor
