Margherita Flatbread

Ingredients

  • 1 naan bread (or other preferred flatbread)
  • 3 pieces fresh mozzarella, sliced to 1/3-1/2" thickness
  • 1 tomato, sliced as thin as possible
  • 5-6 basil leaves
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon balsamic glaze
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Cooking Instructions

Step 1: Mince or press 2 fresh garlic cloves and mix with 1 ½ tablespoons oil.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 2: Brush the flatbread with the oil & garlic mixture.  Place in preheated oven for 5 minutes to crisp up.

Step 3: Remove from oven and place 3 slices of cheese on top of the flatbread, sprinkle with salt & pepper, then place thinly sliced tomatoes on top and repeat with a sprinkling of salt & pepper.  Place back in the oven to another 5 minutes, plus extra 2-3 minutes on broil.  Watch the bread closely, if it’s too dark before the 2-3 minutes is up remove it from the oven immediately.

Step 4: Chop basil leaves.

Step 5: Once flatbread pizza is baked and the edges are golden in color, remove from the oven, drizzle with the balsamic glaze, sprinkle with basil leaves, slice & serve.
