Ingredients
- 2 naan flatbreads
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil divided
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder divided
- 2 medium or large tomatoes sliced into 8-10 slices
- 8 oz. fresh mozzarella sliced into 10 slices
- 12 large fresh basil leaves
- salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste
- balsamic glaze for drizzling (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Place naan flatbreads on a rimmed baking sheet (line with parchment for easy cleanup if preferred). While oven is preheating, place naan breads in oven to toast up a bit before topping them (keep an eye on them so they don't burn, if your oven is slow to preheat!). Prep toppings while oven preheats and naan toasts.
- Drizzle each naan bread with ½ tablespoon olive oil. Sprinkle ¼ teaspoon garlic powder on each. Layer with the slices of tomatoes and fresh mozzarella (I like to overlap them in a circle around the perimeter of the naan).
- Bake at 425 degrees F for about 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and starting to brown.
- Remove from oven, and divide basil leaves on each pizza. Drizzle with remaining ½ tablespoon olive oil on each, sprinkle with a little salt and pepper, and drizzle balsamic glaze, if using. Cut into 4 slices each and serve.
