Four-Cheese Broccoli Pizza
This Four-Cheese Broccoli Pizza uses naan flatbread as a base topped with a blend of cheddar, gouda, parmesan, and feta cheeses along with steamed broccoli florets. The combination delivers a crispy, melty texture with a fresh vegetable note. Garlic-infused butter seasoned with herbs enhances the flavor. The pizza offers a hearty vegetarian option that comes together quickly and provides a satisfying balance of sharp cheeses and tender broccoli.
Ingredients
- 2 Naan flatbread
- 2 TBSP butter melted or olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ¼ tsp parsley dried
- ¼ tsp basil dried
- 2 cups broccoli chopped florets
- 1-1.5 cups cheddar cheese 1+1/2 cups cheese total, grated
- 1-1.5 cups gouda cheese
- 1-1.5 cups Parmesan Cheese
- 2-3 TBSP feta cheese crumbled
Instructions
- Set your oven to 350 F.
- Melt butter with fresh minced garlic, parsley and basil and spread onto the naan. Bake for around 8-10 minutes straight on the rack until lightly golden with a fluffy center.
- Chop the florets from the raw broccoli until it looks more like confetti and less like baby trees. I suppose you should also pretend that's technical cooking terminology. Either blanch or steam the florets until bright green and tender. As a shortcut, I filled a bowl with the florets, poured boiling water from my Keurig over the broccoli and then waited a few minutes before draining with a mesh strainer. You haven't really lived until you've cooked broccoli with a coffee pot.
- After draining the water from the florets, return to the bowl and add cheddar, Gouda and Parmesan cheeses.
- Spread on the garlicky baked naan and top with crumbled feta. Return to oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until crispy and melty perfection is reached. Slice and serve!

- Steaming broccoli until just tender keeps its bright green color and pleasant texture.
- Fresh garlic in the butter blend will enhance the flavor over dried alternatives.
