Garlic Naan Flatbreads - A duo: Pesto/Tomato/Mozz & Mushroom/Mozz/Truffle



Thoughts and Inspiration
Who doesn't love pizza?  I had some leftover garlic naan from the previous night's dinner - so of course why not throw some cheese on there with your favorite fix-ins and turn them into delicious flat-bread pizzas!?  The first one is a pesto/tomato/mozzarella and the second one is a mushroom/mozzarella/truffle.  Enjoy and as always, make it your own and be creative!

Ingredients for both Flat-breads
2 garlic naans
2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
Fresh mozzarella (I used medallions that I cut in half lengthwise) - the amount totally depends on how cheesy you like your pizza

Pesto Flat-bread
2 Tbsp pesto
1/2 Roma tomato, thinly sliced
Kosher salt

Mushroom Flat-bread
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella
5-6 button mushrooms, chopped or sliced
1 tsp olive oil
Sprinkle rosemary and thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
1 Tbsp white truffle oil (or any flavor infused oil - basil or garlic perhaps)

For the mushrooms: Saute mushrooms in 1 tsp olive oil on medium heat until cooked through (about 5-6 minutes).  Sprinkle seasoning and remove from heat.

Heat oven to 350F.  Place garlic naans in oven for 3 minutes.  

Assembly:
Pesto Flat-bread - Spread pesto evenly over naan.  Top with tomato slices, fresh mozzarella and a sprinkle of Kosher salt.
Mushroom Flat-bread - Sprinkle 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella evenly onto naan.  Top with mushrooms and fresh mozzarella. 

Place flat-breads into 350F oven for 3-5 minutes (until cheese starts to bubble).  For mushroom flat-bread, drizzle 1 Tbsp truffle oil immediately after taking out of oven.

Cut into 4 pieces and enjoy!

Sprinkle crushed red pepper is desired.
