Ingredients
Scale
- 2 naan flatbreads
- 1 cup (240 ml) fresh blueberries
- ½ cup (120 ml) feta cheese
- ½ cup (120 ml) ricotta cheese
- 1 cup (240 ml) thinly sliced red onion
- 2 tbsps (30 ml) honey
- 1 tsp (5 ml) olive oil
- Kosher salt to taste
- 1 pinch red pepper flakes
- Micro arugula or baby arugula (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Preparation: Set oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for optimal heat distribution and easy pizza removal.
- Onion Caramelization: Sauté sliced red onions in olive oil over medium-low heat, incorporating red pepper flakes and honey to develop a rich, sweet-spicy flavor profile that transforms the onions into a luxurious topping.
- Cheese Base Creation: Blend ricotta and feta cheeses into a smooth, creamy mixture that will serve as a luscious foundation for the naan pizza, ensuring a harmonious flavor and texture.
- Pizza Assembly: Spread the cheese blend evenly across each naan, then layer with honey-caramelized onions and fresh blueberries, distributing ingredients thoughtfully to maximize flavor in every bite.
- Baking Process: Transfer naan pizzas to the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes, watching for blueberries to soften, cheese to melt completely, and naan to achieve a crisp, golden-brown finish.
- Finishing Touch: Garnish with delicate micro arugula or baby arugula leaves, adding a peppery freshness that complements the sweet and savory elements of the pizza.
- Serving: Present the pizzas immediately while still warm, ensuring the optimal blend of melted cheese, caramelized onions, and burst blueberries.
Notes
- Optimize Caramelization: Control heat carefully to prevent burning onions; medium-low temperature ensures deep, sweet flavor development without scorching.
- Cheese Blend Strategy: Mix ricotta and feta at room temperature for smoother spreading and more even melting across naan surface.
- Blueberry Timing: Add fresh blueberries just before baking to prevent excessive juice release and maintain their vibrant burst of flavor.
- Serving Freshness Tip: Consume pizzas immediately after baking to enjoy crispy naan, melted cheese, and peak temperature for maximum taste experience.
