Pizza My Heart!

Although I am on a health kick, I can’t tell you a time that I don’t crave PIZZA! There is something about the gooey cheese and delicious toppings stacked and bubbling together on top of a thin crispy crust. I usually go the delivery route or pop a frozen pizza into the oven, which are both tasty but I wanted to make my own pizza for this recipe. Something a little lighter, a bit healthier, and A LOT quicker.

The best part of this recipe is how incredibly quick and easy it is to make! PERFECT for a weeknight dinner or a quick lunch on the go, or if your like me it even makes for a good breakfast. After making this recipe that’s EXACTLY what i did. I had it for lunch a few days in a row and breakfast one of those days. it only cost about 15$ to get  all of the ingredients and I had days and days of  fresh leftovers, way better than the price for delivery.  It took about 10 minutes total from prepping my ingredients to the plate hot and ready to enjoy! 

First I added fresh garlic to the olive oil and brushed it over the flatbread. Popped it into the oven for about five minutes without the toppings (to ensure that it was extra crispy). Then I layered on the mozzarella cheese and cherry tomatoes. I chose to use cherry instead of regular tomatoes because I don’t like tomatoes very much, but I LOVE margherita pizza. The cherry tomatoes are much sweeter and can be sliced extra thin and small, also their bright red color gives the food an extra pop for presentation.

I then placed the flatbread with the toppings back into the oven for 5 minutes. When i pulled them out they were hot and bubbly! I chopped fresh basil and covered the top of the pizza (I prefer a lot of basil because of the delicious fresh flavor it adds to this dish). To top it off i drizzled some more olive oil and balsamic vinegar which combines all the flavors of the ingredients together beautifully. 

NOW TIME TO SLICE AND ENJOY! :)

This flatbread was made with such few ingredients and they all were fresh.The bold flavor of this pizza was unbelievable. I tend to like to dip my pizza in ranch but this pizza was SO TASTY, no ranch was needed. The rich flavor from so few fresh ingredients made this flatbread a healthier choice and absolutely  AMAZING. Don’t forget to sprinkle red pepper flakes on top to add a little kick, but this is only for the daring ;)

Ingredients:

1 naan

3 pieces of sliced to 1/3- 1/2 inch thickness fresh mozzarella cheese

1 tomato, sliced as thin as possible

5-6 leaves basil

3 cloves garlic, pressed;  or 1 tsp dry garlic powder

1.5 Tbsp Olive oil

1.5 Tbsp Balsamic Vinegar

Salt & Pepper to taste

Instructions

Press fresh garlic and mix with oil.

Brush the flatbread with oil & garlic with half the mixture. Place in preheated to 350F oven for 5 minutes to crisp up.

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 for another 5 minutes, plus extra 2-3 minutes on broil. Watch the bread closely, if its too dark before 2-3 minutes remove it from the oven immediately.

Meanwhile mix the remaining oil & garlic with the balsamic vinegar, stirring until a smooth emulsion forms.

Chop the basil leaves.

Once flatbread pizza is baked and the edges are golden in color, remove from the oven, drizzle with however much of the balsamic vinegar mixture you would like, sprinkle with basil leaves, slice and serve and enjoy!
