Ingredients
- 3 fluffy flatbreads: naan or pita
- 1.5 TBSP olive oil
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups of broccoli florets (6-8 ounces)
- 1-2 cups chopped kale
- 2-3 TBSP pesto (homemade or store bought)
- ¾ cup mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup cheddar, fontina, gouda, or gruyere cheese
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese
- ⅛ tsp crushed red pepper flakes for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Arrange flatbread on a foil lined baking sheet.
- Combine olive oil and minced garlic, spread evenly on each.
- Bake 8 minutes.
- While your flatbread bakes, fill a pot or skillet with 1 cup of water and bring to a boil. Quickly blanch your kale and broccoli for 1 minute. Drain and remove from heat. (You can also sauté them in a little butter or oil if preferred over blanching!) Season with salt and pepper as desired.
- Once flatbread are ready, spread generously with pesto and top with a little bit of the cheese. Add your veggies and remaining cheese on top.
- Bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until perfectly hot and melty.
- Top with crushed red pepper flakes (optional + spicy!) or an additional sprinkle of parmesan cheese if desired. Crumbled feta also makes a tasty topper! Dive in and enjoy!
